[GRASS-user] Map not found?

GRASS GRASS user
1

I'm working on the command line with the development version.

I have a vector area map called 'permit_area' in the PERMANENT mapset. When I
check using 'g.list type=vect' the map name is displayed. But, when I ask
g.proj or v.info to tell me about that map they tell me 'permit_area not
found.'

What might cause this behavior?

TIA,

Rich

Could you show the exact commands and output? Are you sure it’s not a typo?

Anna,

GRASS NSR_TaxLot/PERMANENT:~ > g.mapsets -p
Accessible mapsets:
PERMANENT
GRASS NSR_TaxLot/PERMANENT:~ > g.list type=vect
permit_area
GRASS NSR_TaxLot/PERMANENT:~ > g.proj -g georef=permit_area
ERROR 4: permit_area: No such file or directory
ERROR: Unable to read georeferenced file <permit_area> using GDAL library
GRASS NSR_TaxLot/PERMANENT:~ > v.info map=pernit_area
ERROR: Vector map <pernit_area> not found

g.list finds the vector file in the PERMANENT mapset so I expected to learn
details using g.proj and v.info.

georef doesn’t expect a GRASS map, but a georeferenced file.

it’s a typo

Rich, perhaps you want to consider asking these questions on Gitter?
https://gitter.im/grassgis/community

I think it’s better suited for these questions.

Anna.

My misunderstanding. Thanks.

Sigh. Missed it.

Thanks again,

Rich

Anna,

Okay. I have a question about pulling from the github repo; my syntax is not
working. I'll get an account there and ask there because I didn't see the
answer in the grass wiki.
