That looks suspiciously like a chunk of a GPX format file - GPS tracks, that kind of thing. Am I right? If so, then get the rgdal package, and read it in. You'll end up with a spatial data frame of some kind from which you can get the points and times. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_eXchange_Format Barry ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
