Subject: First time importing data

Hi,
I've collected a bit of data I'd like to import but don't see the file
types on the supported formats list, but I can't imagine not being able
to import it.
ctg
giras
srtm
regarding sdts data I see a reference to the Grass-SDTS User Guide
but I haven't found it yet.
While I was browsing around I saw a paper on importing TIGER/Line
data, but I can't remember where I saw it. It looked a kind of dated
and the Census folks talk about a change in the data for Tiger/Line
2003. How is that handled.

Not sure about all of your formats, but the SRTM data can be obtained from the
USGS seamless server in a number of different formats including ArcGrid, Tiff,
and ascii I believe. The easiest one to import is the Tiff for me. When
downloading the data, just before you hit the final download button on the
website, choose modify request, or something like that. In there you can
change the data format that you download. Good luck on the other formats!

I have posted scripts to import SRTM here:
http://mpa.itc.it/rs/srtm/
Be sure to have a fresh GDAL installation.

There are:
m.sdts.read
v.in.sdts

It's best handled with GRASS 5.7 (v.in.ogr).
Hope this helps
