One more problem, I need land cover map for my project. I download AVHRR land cover data from glcf.umd.edu. However, the downloaded zip file after extraction was not recognized by Arcgis. The files were saved as GLCF-5173057008600810.b1. Please help how to I open this file. I think it was compressed as binary file.</P><P></P><P>Thank you</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 25 Feb 2016 17:37:45 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/adding-x-and-y-data-points-to-a-shapefile/m-p/443700#M25305 AishaArowolo 2016-02-25T17:37:45Z
