[GRASS-user] nearmap WMS

[Tony Bazeley]

Hi,

I'm new to GRASS, even newer to WMS and am trying to import some nearmap
tiles.  I have some partial success as shown below.

Could the solution be changing file extensions and running gdalwarp with
appropriate parameters? 

If so I have no idea of the next step.

I've tried changing the file extension to .tiff but the file is
unreadable by GIMP

Thanks
Tony
