Edd,

try projecting your data into WGS84 using this tool and see if that data can be added.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

The problem is that your shapefile is Multipoint. You have to convert it to Point.
You can do this with the Feature to Point tool. After converting to point I was able to import it to a web map.

I recommend what Tim said earlier, to project your data into Web Mercator (Auxiliary Sphere).
