DESCRIPTION

       r.in.srtm imports SRTM hgt files into GRASS.  SRTM data sets can be downloaded from NASA at this FTP site
       (Version 1 and the improved Version 2):
       http://dds.cr.usgs.gov/srtm/

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 in the GRASS monitor:
       d.grid size=1
        To import TOPEX/SRTM30 PLUS data, use r.in.bin.
