Perhaps this will make it easier to parse the XML that the Topcon software puts out, or easier than trying to parse it all yourself.

The point number, lat, long, and {all the entered data for the points} are comma seperated, the least being one big glob of stuff.

The first couple values are proper points but the wrong dictionary, so those will have to be done seperately.
