Hei Rich, Relatively recent, the OpenFileGDB driver got implemented in GDAL/OGR. Until then one had to compile it with a FileGDB SDK from ESRI.
Both drivers do unfortunately not support raster data (though someone is or at least has been working on that). Thus, you should be able to import your transport data (assuming it is vector) with v.in.ogr. A FGDB is as you say also a folder, but if I am not mistaken you do not have to provide special files to OGR: I never tried it myself, but something like this should work: v.in.ogr input=your_FGDB_folder layer=the_relevant_layer output=your_output A list of available layers should be accessible like this: v.in.ogr input=your_FGDB_folder -l Hope that helps.

Markus, Raster files such as those available in ESRI Grid format include a file named prj.adf. That's a pretty good clue it contains the projection informaiton that grass needs to create a location. Vector files available as ESRI Shapefiles include a *.prj which grass uses to define a location's projection. The vector files available in ESRI, Garmin, etc. open file grid format have extensions of .atx, .gdb*, and .spx; at least, those are the ones I see in the transportation map I want to import. They all seem to be database files, not projection files. I've tried the .atx and several flavors of .gdb* without success. And, now that I moved ~/grassdata to ~/data/grassdata (and modified ~/.grass7/rc to reflect the new path) grass does not recognize ~/data/grassdata/ODOT2014/ as a location available for selection in the initial dialog box. What I'd like to learn is how to specify a location using .atx or .gdb files. Then I could move these data in there and import them prior to reprojecting them to the current project subdirectory. I'd be happy to write this procedure on the wiki page once I had something useful to write.
