Hi Markus, My responses are inline. I would prefer to get this fixed instead of not cleaning during import. Can you provide sample data for testing? Why spend time *fixing* this, unless you intend to eliminate the -c flag altogether? It's not broken as far as I'm concerned. Mentally I view

By the way, it seems that the official stance is that it is preferred to allow the automatic cleaning of non-topological data sets when they are imported. However, I do want to point out that I have seen many, many instances where this auto-cleaning actually causes problems, rather than fixes

[GRASS-user] Visvalingham-Whyatt algorithm for v.generalize

Hi All, Does anyone know if there has been work done to implement the Visvalingham-Whyatt line simplification algorithm in GRASS? I've been using MapShaper's online implementation of this, but suspect it would work a bit faster in GRASS. Thanks, Roger --

I find this thread interesting. In my experience overlaying both raster (orthophoto) and vector data in Google Earth with KML, EPSG:4326 has worked with no problems whatsoever. So far as I know, GE does not apply a vertical datum, it simply drapes the 2D data over its internal terrain model.
