| Book Page(s) | Module | Correction |
| p. 47 | cs2cs | The result of reprojecting ‘589980 4928010’ with cs2cs should read: 103d52’7.053″W 44d30’6.247″N 0.000 |
| p. 58 | r.support | The use of r.support is no longer needed. |
| p. 60 | r.in.bin | To import GTOPO30 data, please add the flag -b. |
| p. 77 | v.transform | Due to an update of the module ‘v.transform’, it now works with binary vector maps (and no longer with ASCII vector maps). Following corrections are necessary:The sentence: “The module ‘v.transform’ will read the GRASS ASCII vector file ‘vmap.lines’ which is stored within the LOCATION in the related MAPSET subdirectory ‘dig_ascii/’.” should read: “The module ‘v.transform’ will read the GRASS binary vector file ‘vmap.lines’ which has to be generated first.”The command sequence has to be modified to: v.in.ascii in=vmap.lines out=vmap.lines v.transform in=vmap.lines out=vmap_trans point=$HOME/POINTS v.support -r vmap_transThe sentence: “Finally, the transformed map must be converted to the binary vector format with ‘v.in.ascii’ for later usage (same names are allowed) and the topology generated.” should read: “Finally, the topology should be re-generated for the transformed vector map.” |
| p. 377 | Formula (B.51) and (B.52) | The divisor should be 6, not 12. |
