They appear in exactly the right place in google earth.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I then opened the kml file in ArcMap 10, but they don't appear in the right place. The basemap data is in UK British National Grid, as is the data frame, but the GPS data are about 150m too far to the west, and perhaps 50m too far north.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I have attached a jpg. What am I doing wrong? ArcGIS knows to treat the kml data as WGS84 but they're still appearing in the wrong place. Any ideas?
