Until this point, no information has been provided about the projection parameters. This should be handled by the following commands: g.proj -p [to see what the (default ?) project is] g.proj -c epsg=4326 [to override the projection information] g.region -s n=90 s=-90 w=-180 e=180 res=1 [to define the default (-> -s flag) region] g.region -p[to check the results] Unfortunately this results in: ERROR: default region is not set ERROR: default region is not set ERROR: default region is not set ERROR: default region is not set What's missing ?

An older version of a shell script is here: http://www.grassbook.org/examples_menu2nd.php -> create_location.sh Keeping in mind http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_and_Shell#GRASS_Batch_jobs it should be even easier to write it.

But is there also a way to provide the parameters _without_ interaction with the user (-> GRASS scripting & automation) ?
