DESCRIPTION
v.in.gns imports US-NGA GEOnet Names Server (GNS) country files (Gazetteer data) into a GRASS vector points map. The country files can be downloaded from the NGA GNS Web Server (see below). The script generates a vector point map. Only original files can be processed (unzip compressed file first). These GNS files are encoded in UTF-8 which is maintained in the GRASS database.NOTES
The current DB connection is used to write the database table.Generally, column names longer that 10 characters are shortened to 10 characters to meet the DBF column name restrictions.
To filter outliers (points outside of a country), the v.select module can be used to perform point-in-polygon tests. v.select saves only the GNS points falling into a country polygon into the new points map.
