Site Data

[Craig Anderson]

Fellow GP/GU's

	I have a problem as usual with site data, seems to be a reoccuring 
problem.  I would like to get some site data into GRASS in the following format:

East         North        Attrib
-111:25:12   45:29:51     #1

	Thus far, the only way I can get s.in.ascii to work is by changing the
format to:

East	     North        Attrib
-111.2512     45.2951     #1

	Needless to say these are not quite the same position.  One being in 
DDMMSS and the other in Decimal Degrees.  Question is, why can't the blasted
thing read in ddmmss format?  G.region seems to be correctly set but I get a
format error every time I run s.in.ascii.

Thanks, Craig

to convert DDMMSS to Decimal Degrees 
(Degrees) + ( Minutes / 60 ) + ( Seconds / 3600 )
so -111:25:12 = -111.42    not -111.2512 

This doesn't address your question but it should give you better results
