Thank you for investigating. I have the same problem with another projection for the Finland Uniform Coordinate System:
I've set up a location by selecting the EPSG code 2393 and when I run g.region -p I get the following: projection: 99 (Transverse Mercator) zone: 0 datum: ** unknown (default: WGS84) ** ellipsoid: international I get the same result if I create the location using a .prj file: PROJCS["KKJ / Finland Uniform Coordinate System",GEOGCS["KKJ",DATUM["D_KKJ",SPHEROID["International_1924",6378388,297]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["Degree",0.017453292519943295]],PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator"],PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin",0],PARAMETER["central_meridian",27],PARAMETER["scale_factor",1],PARAMETER["false_easting",3500000],PARAMETER["false_northing",0],UNIT["Meter",1]] Is there any way to set the datum once the location has been created?
