Name
r.in.srtm - Imports SRTM HGT files into raster map.
Notes
SRTM tiles are of 1 degree by 1 degree size. The SRTM filename contains the coordinates which refer to
the center of the lower left pixel (e.g., N51E010: lower left cell center at 10E, 51N). To identify a
tile name, a grid can be easily visualized by d.grid:
d.grid size=1
To import TOPEX/SRTM30 PLUS data, use r.in.bin.
