[GRASS-dev] Securing the correct scale

Hi,

My map display for the location shows the correct UTM coordinates (attachment 1), but when I display a raster file, the coordinate system changes and the scale bar is wildly out (attachment 2). I seem to have missed something, and nothing emerges from the literature (probably because it should be so obvious!). Can anyone help me to sort this out?

Colin.

Hello,
for support questions is better to use grass-user mailing list.

My guess - your location and map coordinate systems/extents don't match.

Compare outputs of g.region -p with output of r.info/v.info on all
maps you are interested in. (in wxgui it would be "Print region
information" from menu and "Metadata" from right click menu).

If you still need assistance, provide outputs of g.region -p and r.info

Good luck,
Maris.
