[GRASS-user] v.in.ogr weird import

[Christian Ferreira]

Hi,


I tried many times to import some vectors into GRASS 6.2.2 and 6.3
using v.in.ogr.

The problem is... my location use Latitude-Longitude, and I tried use
the flag -o, but my vectors (once imported) always show now UTM
projection(?) (see below), but they are in fact, also
Latitude-Longitude (+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +no_defs)
as my region.

And the layer extent is: xMin,yMin -80.817,-10.6663 : xMax,yMax
-78.7871,-9.05281 (info from QGIS)

PS: to import raster data there was no problem.

PS: the command was: v.in.ogr -o
dsn=/home/poseidon/Work/vector_data/Tracklines2.shp output=tracklines2
min_area=0.0001 snap=-1
