We don't support this format.  I would say it could fit into our Track data 
type,
but it doesn't have a time variable which we require now and we don't have any
adapters to transform something like this into a TrajectoryDatatype.  If you'd
want to write such an adapter, I could help you out with that.

How would you want to display this?  As a profile?   As points?
