[GRASS-user] min_area of v.in.ogr for geographic degrees

[Nikos Alexandris]

# v.in.ogr help
v.in.ogr
[...]
min_area   Minimum size of area to be imported (square units)
              Smaller areas and islands are ignored. Should be greater
than snap^2
             default: 0.0001

Question: is the default "min_area" parameter (=0.0001) "safe" when
importing data that are defined in _geographic degrees_? Isn't this
"threshold" kind of big for degrees?

Thanks, Nikos
