I'm trying to import D:M:S coordinates into a Lat-Long Location to create a
line vector:

echo "L 4 1
66:30:00W|44:15:00N
66:00:00W|44:15:00N
66:00:00W|44:00:00N
66:30:00W|44:00:00N" | v.in.ascii -n output=test format=standard
Error reading ascii file:
66:30:00W|44:15:00N
Building topology ...
0 primitives registered
0 areas built

Attaching islands:

Number of nodes : 0
Number of primitives: 0
Number of points : 0
Number of lines : 0
Number of boundaries: 0
Number of centroids : 0

Any ideas what is causing this error?

Looking at the code, I see that DMS is only supported for
format=points; format=standard requires decimal values.
