Hi,

> what is the complaint it gives you? (exact cut & paste is best)

<PROJ_INFO> file not found for location <Palma di Maiorca>

<PROJ_UNITS> file not found for location <Palma di Maiorca>

Driver <GIF> does not support direct writing. Using MEM driver for intermediate dataset.

Exporting to GDAL data type: Byte

Unable to set projection

r.out.gdal complete.  

> what version of GRASS?

6.3

> what were the exact command line parameters you used?

r.out.gdal input=porto.palette at PERMANENT format=GIF output=~/pippo.gif

XY location (unprojected)

I'm sorry for the late reply but I've been very busy. I did some step
forward but still I have the feeling to be somehow lost :-) Now I'm
able to generate a .gif file but I do not know how to have gpsdrive to
put the map in the correct place. I quick summary of my steps.

1. I've got two files M0011.BSB and M0011_1.KAP

2. I generate a new region with grass63 using the georeference option
and using the .KAP file

3. I import a new raster map using again the file .KAP and obtaining on
OK from grass63. Here the log

Projection of input dataset and current location appear to match

Copying 8 GCPS in points file for <porto>

GCPs have the following OpenGIS WKT Coordinate System::

GEOGCS["WGS 84",DATUM["WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS 84",6378137,298.257223563,AUTHORITY["EPSG",7030]],TOWGS84[0,0,0,0,0,0,0],AUTHORITY["EPSG",6326]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0,AUTHORITY["EPSG",8901]],UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433,AUTHORITY["EPSG",9108]],AXIS["Lat",NORTH],AXIS["Long",EAST],AUTHORITY["EPSG",4326]]

r.in.gdal complete.  

4. I modify my map: scale, color, etc...

5. I try to export a raster map with the command

r.out.gdal input=porto.palette at PERMANENT format=GIF output=~/pippo.gif

obtaining the complain above reported but obtaing a "non empty" file
