<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As newbie I'm creating a map of the Falkland
Islands using the NASA's SWBD shapefiles with GRASS 6.3RC6. After importing the
ten tiles into GRASS in Lat/Lon, I merge them two by two using 'v.overlay' in
order to have only one vector map. Isn't there a better way to merge several
pieces of map in one big in one operation ? Should I use 'v.patch' ? When I try
to use this last I've got an error message box 'couldn't execute
“v.patch”:invalid argument'. When I display this merged map, the sea areas are
well displayed but I loose most of the lakes (the ones which weren't filled with
any color in the separate tiles.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I create a new project in UTM and re-project
my map with 'v.proj', the module tells me that there are many (200) incorrect
boundaries, as well as centroids outside area and areas without centroids, and
when I display the map, several sea areas are white, showing me clearly that
something didn't run fine. Can somebody tell me what is wrong ? Could it have
something to do with the categories as I read in some threads ?</FONT></DIV>
