I am trying to create a new location in grass 5.0.3. I have gone
through the selection process and chosen the following options:
projection: stp
ellipsoid: grs80
datum: nad83
state FIPS code: 48
county FIPS code: 453
However, all data I import into this location is NOT in the right
location.
So, I checked further and found that g.projinfo says:
-----------------------------------------------------------
PROJ_INFO file:
name: State Plane
datum: nad83
dx: 0.000000
dy: 0.000000
dz: 0.000000
proj: lcc
a: 0.63782064e+07
es: 0.6768657997291094e-02
x_0: 0.6096012192024384e+06
y_0: 0
lon_0: 100d20'w
lat_0: 29d40'n
lat_1: 31d53'n
lat_2: 30d7'n
-----------------------------------------------------------
PROJ_UNITS file:
unit: meter
units: meters
meters: 1.0
-----------------------------------------------------------
When I check the .../etc/state27 and .../etc/state83 files I find that
it is using the state27 info NOT the state83 info that I requested:
/usr/grass5/etc/state27:4203: +proj=lcc +a=0.63782064e+07
+es=0.6768657997291094e-02 +x_0=0.6096012192024384e+06 +y_0=0
+lon_0=100d20'w +lat_0=29d40'n +lat_1=31d53'n +lat_2=30d7'n
/usr/grass5/etc/state83:4203: +proj=lcc +a=0.6378137e+07
+es=0.66943800229e-02 +x_0=0.7e+06 +y_0=0.3e+07 +lon_0=100d20'w
+lat_0=29d40'n +lat_1=31d53'n +lat_2=30d7'n
This is a bug.
Should I log this somewhere for handing?
Has it been addressed in a different version of grass that I am not
running?
