Hi GRASS users,
I am interested in the following query on Mapserver: specify the name of the location ("Chicago"), and to see the result as map of Chicago vicinity? Is it better to import the shapefiles into GRASS and work with internal GRASS vector data format? If not, then how to extract the vicinity coordinates from shapefile?
Yet one more question. If entire vector vector data is stored in PostgreSQL, then the previous query would be easy. But, I'm not shure whether it's possible to store entire vector data layer (including vertex, and nodes) in PostgreSQL table. Is it possible? Is it a smart approach?
Thanks,
Rado
