Is anyone a mercator projection location with GRASS?
I am trying to create a new location in a mercator
projection and I am not having much luck.
In setting up the new region, GRASS asks me for the
units and a conversion factor to meters. The units
for a mercator projection are degrees. Does GRASS
convert the degrees to meters? And the conversion
factor is different for lat and lon. I am confused.
Has anyone successfully done this?
A projection is as far as I know NOT the same as a coordinate system. It
seems to me you should be using lat-long instead of merc.
