[GRASS-user] Canada GeoBase WMS import?

[Hamish]

Hi,

I was wondering if any Canadians out there were using r.in.wms with the
GeoBase WMS, and if so what layers are available? The WMS section seems
to be restricted to registered users.

Specifically are any of the vector layers served (eg road network), and
if so in what format do they come?

The roads are available as a Shapefile,GML so no big drama, but if the
WMS data exists, perhaps a v.in.wms script is needed? SVG/WebCGM import
support for GRASS/OGR?
