Hi,

how can I identify which point lies in which polygon?

The points are in an ascii-table, each with latitude, longitude and some
other attributes like name, altitude and id-number.
The vector-map is a map with political boundaries found in the vmap0-dataset
at http://www.gdf-hannover.de/gis.php?id=5

THX,
stn

Use v.distance from points to polygon, and store a polygon attribute (such as cat) in the points table.
