DESCRIPTION

v.what.vect is used to transfer vector attributes from a query vector maps to a vector point map at the point positions. The script is based on v.distance.

NOTES

The upload column into which the query results are stored must be present in the vector point map or added with v.db.addcol.

EXAMPLE

In this example the 'archsites' point map in the Spearfish location is copied to the current mapset, a new attribute column is added and the owner names from the 'fields' polygon map are transferred to the 'myarchsites' map at point positions: 
g.copy vect=archsites,myarchsites
v.db.addcol myarchsites col="owner varchar(25)"
v.what.vect myarchsites qvect=fields column=owner qcolumn=label
# verification:
v.db.select myarchsites
