[GRASS-user] open map

Hello there!

I'm a beginner in GRASS GIS 6.40RC4 and have problems to open a specific map
from Central America. Therefore I first created a new location, where I need
my map. Then I downloaded a map (in a zip format and I unzipped it. There
was one folder with different types of data. Some with the ending 'bil' and
some with 'hdr') from the internet on http://www.iscgm.org. As I tried to
open it in this new location in GRASS it didn't work. What do I have to do
to open a map? Is the generating of a new location necessary or can I just
open a map without that?

Thanks a lot and have a nice day.
Bye!

Is it in the same projection as the location? Have you imported it
into GRASS with r.in.gdal or v.in.ogr? ...

Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are
so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and
make us feel like gods. We are mammals, and have not exhausted the
annoying little problems of being mammals.

Hey!

<Is it in the same projection as the location?

not exactly... I need a location around Belize in Central America and put in
some coordinates which should covering the whole country. But the map from
the internet is bigger I think.
So I marked 'extend location extents based on new dataset'. Isn't that
enough? :wink:

<Have you imported it into GRASS with r.in.gdal or v.in.ogr? ...

Yeah I tried it, but it said: Projection of dataset does not appear to match
current location.
Then I marked 'extend location extents based on new dataset'

It said that the .bil format was not supported, so I tried with .hdr. Is
this right? It said raster map created but how do I really display the map?

Thanks

GUI layer manager. However if the projection doesn't match the
current mapset be careful. This could signal problems.
