Hi,
I've recently come across some LandXML files that use latitude and
longitude (angular units - decimal degrees) for their coordinates
(PointType) instead of linear units, like feet.  I cannot see anything
in the schema to support this, but using Lat and Long seems to me to be
a valid way to measure East and North.

Could someone please suggest how I can determine what unit is being
used?

Thanks,

Hugh
