-====== points.xml ====== 
- 
-The points.xml file is used define fixed point elements which can be used in maps instead of <​point>​ elements based on latitude/​longitude or cartesian x,y coordinates. ​ These are especially useful when drawing airways or specific procedures based on waypoints (sid, star, loa information,​ etc...)

-If cartesian X/Y attribute values are used, the point is calculated using the <​origin>​ given in the FIR configuration file (config.fir). 
-The format of the latitude/​longitude values is Zdddmmsssss where: 
-  * Z = N or S for latitude, E or W for longitude 
-  * ddd = degrees (3 digits, zero padded) 
-  * mm = minutes (max 59) 
-  * sssss = seconds with maximum 3 decimal places (max 59.999)
