namespace kml_utils
{
struct OtherInfo
{
  std::string name; // ex) name = "Velocity Scale Factor"
  std::string value_str; // ex) value_str = "0.987684"
};

struct Point
{
public:
  int seq = 0; // [sequence number]
  double time;      // [sec]
  double latitude;  // [deg]
  double longitude; // [deg]
  double altitude;  // [m]

  std::vector<OtherInfo> other_info_vector;
