Thanks.
In v.what.vect I don’t see anywhere to enter the coordinates.
Eg: 28.325625 and 85.3256225

Hi all,

Is there a way to query or get the name of the country from attribute table of country polygons when users enter the coordinates.For an eg. when the user enter the any random coordinates that belongs to China then the grass gis reads the attributes of polygons of countries and gives a China as output.

Thanks in advance.
