For mobile applications and automated route-finding knowing the exact location of the Location is required.

Longitude. The value domain and the interpretation are the same as for the text of the longitude element in KML (see notes below).

Latitude. The value domain and the interpretation are the same as for the text of the latitude element in KML (see notes below).
