[GRASS-user] Obtaining long/lat data from GRASS points

Hi everyone,
Is there a way to obtain the long/lat of a point from GRASS? I need to import some locations from a layer into a GPS and I do not see an easy way to do this. Thanks for any help.

What you need is the v.to.db module. It takes an “option=” parameter which you set to “coor” and also add the “column=” parameter with the names of the database columns that will hold the long/lat coordinates.

I was thinking, v.out.ogr to either GPX or GPSBabel format
http://www.gdal.org/ogr_formats.html
Those formats should be easy to load onto a GPS.

Enjoy,
Alex
