```

## CONSTRUCTOR

### new

```
  my $placemark=$document->Point(
              name       => "White House",
              lat        => 38.89769,       #signed decimal degrees WGS-84
              lon        => -77.036549,     #signed decimal degrees WGS-84
              alt        => 30,             #meters above ellipsoid WGS-84
            );
