GeoServer). Related discussion on the GDAL mailinglist can be found here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.gdal.devel/43019 g.proj -w gave the projection information as in the GeoTIFF, though without any AUTHORITY parameters (as it is supposed to according to the manual). The AUTHORITY tags seem to be added by r.out.gdal, except for the authority parameter for the entire projection. Even if g.proj -g returns epsg=25832. Compared to GDALs GeoTIFFs also AXIS parameters are missing (see below). {{{ GRASS 7.0.4svn (ETRS_32N):~ >g.proj -g name=ETRS89 / UTM zone 32N datum=etrs89 ellps=grs80 proj=utm zone=32 towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 no_defs=defined epsg=25832 unit=meter units=meters meters=1 GRASS 7.0.4svn (ETRS_32N):~ > GRASS 7.0.4svn (ETRS_32N):~ >r.out.gdal input=test output=$HOME/test.tif GRASS 7.0.4svn (ETRS_32N):~ >gdalinfo $HOME/test.tif (...)
