I am trying to create a Kernel Density estimation map to turn several data points into smooth colors. This is my first attempt at creating this kind of advanced map, and I'm running into some issues.
My underlying data consists of Latitude and Longitude points, which I have displayed correctly by converting to XY data using GCS_WGS_1984 as the coordinate system. However, whenever I try to convert that XY data using the Kernel Density tool, I always get ERROR 010092: Invalid output extent.
I've tried the default values, lots of other numbers as the output value, and I specified the coordinate system in the Environment section. As I mentioned, this is my first try doing this type of map, so I have a feeling the fix is something easy that I'm just not seeing. I did test this using an existing layer I have (Cities), and it worked with no issues, even with the default output value.
Any and all guidance will be more than appreciated!!!
I think you may have misunderstood my question. I have no problem displaying the data in X, Y coordinates on the map. I just have no clue how to get these points to work with Density Kernel. I was told it was because they were in geo coordinates and they needed to be in projections.
Sorry, see my edited response above. You need to project your points first using the Project tool.
