Waypoint mode (or with -p flag) should create/link as needed with
 v.in.ascii format=point
as needed (I think..?).


But when the script makes track or route lines with:
 v.in.ascii format=standard
it does not create a table; the script creates one by hand with 

echo "CREATE TABLE ..." | db.execute

  [this step needs db to be set]

then populate the table it with

echo "INSERT INTO ..." | db.execute

then links with v.db.connect.


So it is hard to see what could be automated to create & link dbf/.

Maybe a test for $MAPSET/dbf and 'db.connect -p' before CREATE TABLE
in the v.in.garmin script is correct after all and no automation?
