Then, for EUROPE: <VRTDataset rasterXSize="1140" rasterYSize="540"> <SRS>WGS84</SRS> <GeoTransform>-25.041666666,0.08333333,0,75.041666666,0,-0.08333333</GeoTransform> <VRTRasterBand dataType="Int16" band="1" subClass="VRTRawRasterBand"> <SourceFilename relativeToVRT="1">EUROPE.BIN</SourceFilename> </VRTRasterBand> </VRTDataset> Imported normally in GRASS GIS :-) Nikos _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
