[GRASSLIST:7561] v.in.ascii

[Ian MacMillan]

Dave (or anyone else),
I was wondering if you ever found out how to import lat-long data into 
grass?  I would like to do the same thing.

Hello,

I'm attempting to us v.in.ascii to import sites.  Things work fine
when I use Eastings/Northings.  However, I would like to import
points in latitude/longiture.  When I attempt to import positions
such as:

85:46:05.14203W | 43:00:07.320715N

I receive the error message:

ERROR: x column is not of number type

Is there a way to have the program recognize lat./long as legitimate
entries?

Thanks,
