Hi there,

HAving got SRTM, Landsat and VMAP data into GRASS I
now want to add place names from the Geonet archive.

Has anyone actually done this? How did they achieve
it?

Do you mean
http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/
?

I have written v.in.gns for NGA-Geonet import
(comes with 6.1-CVS).

you can simply grab it from CVS:

http://freegis.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/grass6/scripts/v.in.gns/
-> v.in.gns

Store this file into the scripts/ subdirectory in your GRASS
installation.

But there is a requirement: utf2any
ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/support/utf2any.tar.gz

maybe it could work with 'iconv' as well but I don't know
(suggestions welcome).

Markus,

Than you for the email.

Unfortunately I run GRASS 6.0.0. Does this mean I must upgrade to the
latest version of GRASS?

I run it on Windows XP.

Right now I have simplified the script. It now maintains UTF-8
encoding, so utf2any is no longer needed.
