Location data file format

The location data file is map-dependent and the locations can only be loaded in combination with the original map. This formats makes it easier to store (map-dependent) test data so that tests can be repeated based on the same test set. Tha data package provides methods for reading and writing location data files.

The format is text-based and each line stands for one location. Comments starts with a "#" symbol and all characters after that symbols will be ignored. All location types can be mixed and empty rows will be ignored. The following paragraph shows an example file containing 2 locations.
