Description

v.lrs.where identifies line id and real milepost+offset for points in vector map using linear reference system.

Example

This example is written for the Spearfish dataset (it continues the example from v.lrs.create).

In this example, the ’route_lrs’ shall be queried for unknown positions (points, stored in the map newpoints) along the LRS:

# generate query points
echo "590866.15|4926737.0
590933|4927133" | v.in.ascii out=newpoints
v.lrs.where lines=route_lrs points=newpoints rstable=route_lrs
