[GRASS-user] Google-earth images with grass

   I've searched the wiki and looked at the i.* modules without finding how
to import a google-earth image in grass7. Here, v.in.gdal supports
KMLSUPEROVERLAY -raster- (rwv): Kml Super Overlay, but I don't know if how
to save a displayed googleearth map in a suitable format.

   My uses of this image include draping over a LiDAR DEM and applying an
appropriate evaporation module from the i.* toolset (after I research the
available ones to see if any will work with pan evaporation rates).

   Pointers to useful information is desired as well as all suggestions and
recommendations on use of these images.

   Let me clarify: I designated a placemark, then saved it as a .kml file.
Can I import this into grass7.5svn with v.in.gdal?

   Answer: no.

   r,in.gdal -j in=<inputfile> repors that *.kml is not a supported format.

   Anyone use GoogleEarth images in grass7?

v.in.ogr.

~$ ogrinfo --formats | grep -i kml
LIBKML -vector- (rw+v): Keyhole Markup Language (LIBKML)
KML -vector- (rw+v): Keyhole Markup Language (KML)

Micha,

   How about that? I thought the google earth images were rasters when saved,
not vectors.

   Yes, KML is supported here.

Toda,
