Welcome.Dear Grass fellows,I am a new member of the list. I installed GRASS on my Debian box, and have no clue how to continue. Please forgive me my ignorance. While I enjoy working with GRASS, in your case it might be "using a 5 kg. hammer to push in a tack". If you only need to create a point layer from X-Y locations there are several easier to use tools. Did you consider QGIS?With my father, as a family project, we develop a system, that sends coordinates to a postgresql database. So far, I have some date in the database. My goal would be to SELECT some data from the database, and display it on a map. Could anyone help me how to achieve this? (no, I don't want google maps). If you find further on that you need the advanced analysis capabilities of GRASS, then QGIS has a GRASS plugin to get you started. I am an electrical engineer, and have no clue how does this Geographic stuff work, so it would be nice to have some pointers in the documentation. You'd certainly do well to start with the GRASS documentation:* How can I load a map into GRASS? * BTW... where can I get a map from? * How can I (from software) put a point in a map? * How can I do some analyze stuff like distance from 2 points (on a GUI) * other stuff will come, like mesh, etc. Yes, I am prepared to read documents! I'm sorry if all these questions are stupid, but I think GRASS is what I look for. http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_Help Thank you for your help.
