Hey folks,
The Ottawa GRASS Users Group would like to thank the developers of v.in.gpsbabel for their "nick of time" save on our tutorial. After recompiling with the new script everything worked great.
Check out our second tutorial (Our first one created from scratch) at http://cemml.carleton.ca:8080/OGUG/ogug-community/tutorials/.
"This tutorial is dedicated to Davide Spano and Claudio Porta for contributing the
v.in.gpsbabel script and Hamish for putting up with my nagging and delivering the script
from the developers list to those that needed it. We also dedicate this tutorial to all those
that will make use of GPS technology in GRASS."
The tutorial introduces the user to using a GPS as a source of vector based data for use in GRASS. The tutorial covers
Devices /dev/ttyS0
v.in.gpsbabel
v.clean
v.digit
v.build
v.extract
g.region
d.what.vect
DBF files
We hope to get some good feedback. I'm sure there are some technical inacuracies somewhere, but we need fresh eyes. There is also a good opportunity for some more in depth vector digitizing tutorials. If you want to tag team the development of a full digitizing tutorial let us know. It's on our list
If there is anything of use in our tutorial to the GRASS web site feel free to grab it
We are still trying to figure what our next tutorial will be. We will probably go back to the world of raster, and then maybe onto RDMS's and then back to vectors and digitizing and vector management. But this is a number of months down the road.
I hope you enjoy the tutorial.
Cheers
