[GRASS-user] Global Land Cover Characterization data type

[Yann Chemin]

Hi Michael,

http://edc2.usgs.gov/glcc/globdoc2_0.php#dataform
says that data is in binary flat format, no header...
I suppose that if you download in geographical lat long projection, and
that you get the header info from:
http://edc2.usgs.gov/glcc/globdoc2_0.php#geog

then you should be able to set a new location from this info and import
straight in GRASS with one of the generic binary input function (maybe in
r.in.gdal, maybe another more specific.

good luck and tell us how it went,
Yann
