Something in the direction of: "-c Creates new GRASS unprojected location in specified GISDBASE" [no idea why it says 'unprojected' must be long-term legacy] I think the reason here stems from the un-desirable case of creating a location without specifying any projection details (neither EPSG code nor a georeferenced file) then you'll get a more or less unusable Location. You will have to start manually to setup the Location's projection. What's more, I think that using the -c option to create a location and mapset in one go does not work. You will always get a Location with only the PERMANENT mapset: grass -text -c EPSG:32632 /home/micha/GIS/grass/UTM33/micha micha@RMS:Downloads$ g.mapsets -p Accessible mapsets: PERMANENT (No mapset "micha") The best approach is to do it in two stages: 1.

In the 8.0dev manual's table of contents, the GRASS GIS startup manual link results in a 404 (Page Not Found) error. Clicking on the 'edit this page' link also produces an error. I'll see if I can get to the source on github and fix it there. Making it visible on the web site is likely not within my skill set.

[GRASS-user] Start grass, create new mapset
I have an existing location, lon_lat, into which I import new data in that format. From the command line I want to start grass in text mode using that location while creating a new mapset there. On the grass startup manual page I see examples that create new locations or use shapefiles or tiff files for the mapsets. What do I use if the input data is ascii text points? I've tried grass /data/grassdata/lon_lat/ and am told that the mapset doesn't exist or have a WIND file. Looking forward to learning, Rich ___ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
