[GRASSLIST:943] Splicing two surface maps

Hi folks,

I need to put two surface raster maps together. Would I create a new
location that encompasses the national grid for both maps, copy both maps to
this location, then use r.patch to splice them together? Or would it be a
bit more involved than this?

You got it.

If the maps are already in the same location (ie they're in the same
projection), you don't even have to make a new mapset. Just make the
region big enough to fit the two with g.region.

Remember r.patch takes the first listed map's data over the second if
they overlap.
