- acceptable latitude column name: Latitude, Lat, Y, North, Northing
- acceptable longitude column name: Longitude, Lon, X, East, Easting
NOTE:If the second line in the file contains null value (empty string) corresponding column considered to be of type string.
Example (VAR1 and VAR2 are arbitrary names)
| INDEX | LATITUDE | LONGITUDE | VAR1 | VAR2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10.1 | 10.1 | 1 | 2 |
| 2 | 15.01 | 15.01 | 2 | 0 |
Coverage
Format: Only one band *.tif format is valid. If coverage has more than one band only the first band is taken into account.
