[GRASS-user] Copy projection to another location

Each state has its own CRS. When I create a new location for a project in
that state I'd like to copy PROJ_INFO and PROJ_UNITS from that state's
location to the new project location.

Looking at the g.* commands I am not seeing how to do this with g.region,
g.proj, or other module.

Also, can I change the CRS for an existing location or only when it's being
created?

TIA,

Rich

You can, but it is rare that you should do it, and a fairly low-level operation. It is required in some edge cases, like when setting up a rotated pole coordinate system.

What is your use-case or intended goal/behavior/setup? Perhaps there are easier and more appropriate methods.

Ken,

That's what I thought

When I start spatial analyses on a new project I want to set the location
using that state's 'official' CRS. While I thought I had done this when I
created the project location the PROJ_INFO file did not reflect this.

Thanks,
