Leaving below mail as record of my original issue, I would to raise the
fundamental question of whether it would be feasible
1) to (optionally) provide geodesic instead of planar distances when
measuring, even if the location is in a projected coordinate system.
E.g. QGIS provides the possibility in distance measuring to check a box
to activate geodesic distance
2) to (optionally) allow the creation of buffers based on geodesic
distances, again in a projected location, which would imply non-circular
buffers.
Exploring my exploration of this in the hope that someone might share an
interest:
r.buffer actually provides the possibility of geodesic buffering when
used in a lat-long location. Would it be difficult to implement the same
in v.buffer ?
