[GRASS-user] Map scale wrong

So… i have converted my shape file to this projection: http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/4618/ on Qgis, and have created a new projection and mapset with this same epsg on Grass…

But when i import the shape on grass the map scale is still crazy, it says 1:6, but my area is huge and i can see all my points. On Qgis my same file has a 1:1.183.641 scale

And this is a problem because when i try to make the buffers over my points i have to use a very small distance:
g.run_command(‘v.buffer’, input=‘PocosSad@Map3’, output=‘boreholesGrassBuffer’, type=‘point’, distance=‘0.01’)

else my buffer covers the hole area.

Anyone knows how i can fix this map scale? or why is this strange?

my shape file is in attach,

you should probably use a projected coordinate system, not geographic coordinate system. The distance you specify in the buffer is now in degrees, that’s why it needs to be so small.

Hi Anna tnks for your answer,
so which EPSG code you suggest i use? UTM? and i have the location of each point on my attribute table as LAT and LONG, what happens with this information when it changes to a projected coordinate system?

Very tnks,
Alec

UTM is probably fine, just create a new location (based on EPSG of the
appropriate UTM system) and use v.proj to reproject your vector from the
latlon location.
