Hi,
Is there a feature/tool in GRASS that enables creation of a global grid
overlay of UTM zones?
If not, would anyone know of another tool to do this.
Thanks.
Richard

Hi, Is there a feature/tool in GRASS that enables creation of a global grid overlay of UTM zones?
How about this:
#In a Lon/Lat WGS84 location run
g.region -p n=90 s=-90 e=180 w=-180
v.mkgrid map=utm_zones pos=region grid=1,60

for reference or reuse?
for reference, see the graphic shown here:
http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/Gis_Concepts#Map_projections
for reuse, see v.mkgrid & Micha's post. each zone is 6 degrees wide,
but beware of some deviations around Scandinavia.
also, 80S to 84N, split at the equator.

Hi,
For reference, I've created a Global UTM zones grid in shapefile format*.
It's downloadable at

*Details:
Coordinate Reference System: WGS84. Created in GRASS using v.mkgrid,
v.patch, v.clean, v.category, v.to.db, v.out.ogr. Grid incorporates special
zones west of Norway (band V) and near Svalbard Island (band X).

Thanks Richard for this. Would you mind releasing under a more free
licence, for possible inclusion in sample data packages? The current
licence:
Free for non-commercial use only. Users should acknowledge the
EnviroProjects Digital Initiative (EPDI: http://www.enviroprojects.org)
as the source.
would not allow this.
All the best.

hi,
I normally use only GRASS GIS (6.4.3 and 6.5 compiled from source) on a Ubuntu 12.04 machine. Last week I tried to install qgis as a viewer-fronend for my GRASS maps. Thus I followed also the qgis wiki and installed the grass-qgis-plugin (with 'sudo apt-get install gqis-plugin-grass'). Unfornately this somehow destroyed the starting settings of my grass gis... Trying to start grass 6.4 (selfcompiled) with grass64 in the console gives now following error:
$ grass64
Cleaning up temporary files ...
Starting GRASS ...
python: can't open file '/usr/lib/grass64/etc/wxpython/gis_set.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
Received EXIT message from GUI.
GRASS is not started. Bye.
Qgis itself is working perfectly also with the plugin. The plugin comes with a package called grass-core for 6.4.2 which seems to overwrite my association with "grass64". At the moment I don't need qgis to use my own grass 6.4.3 or 6.5 (with add-ons), the core is sufficient but how to start grass6.4.3 with the GUI??

What’s in the script /usr/bin/grass64? That’s probably what the QGIS package overwrote. Make sure GISBASE points to your 6.4.3 compiled installation and it should be OK.
