Re: Possible issue with GML import

 

By the way, here is the relevant quote from the GML Point Profile:

"A Point is defined by a single coordinate tuple, with the coordinate
values being specified by the gml:pos property. Data instances compliant
with this profile shall use only the gml:pos property."
