Point Density

[CamW]

Hello,

I have a dataset with 300,000 points. My map unit is in Decimal Degrees and the display is in Meters.

When I add my point layer in the point density tool the output cell size is 1.27800000000207E-05 with the neighbourhood setting with a Circle Radius of 0.000107 and the units is check off as Map. It does not let me select the Area units.

The results come out as billions and hundreds of billions.

Any suggestions to fix this?

I assume the issue is with the cell size?

Cheers

Cam

Maybe you would like to reproject the data to an appropriate Projected Coordinate System.

and did you set some type of scale factor for the area unit which might also affect the output?
