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

[Carlos "Guâno" Grohmann]

Christian, if you shapefiles and you region are with the same
projection/coordinate system, the -o flag is not necessary.

also, the "dsn" option must point to the _directory_ were your shps are. like:

v.in.ogr dsn=/home/poseidon/Work/vector_data/ output=tracklines2
layer=Tracklines2.shp min_area=0.0001 snap=-1


hope this helps

Carlos
