Hallo,
I have a file with locationas and i want to import that in arcgis for desktop 10.3.1.
the location are in this format:
-64.9734423 46.8886667 0, -64.975073 46.9527568 0,
What format is this? and what coordinate system do i need to use if i import this true create feature class true xy table.
Thank you
Solved! Go to Solution.
Does the first row have any text (ColumnName) in it?
Looks like XYZ values in CSV file.
You could try Adding x,y coordinate data as a layer.
Spatial Reference preferably GCS_WGS1984.

I seems I did not set the Y field earlier. Thank you for the info
Hi Peter - I would reformat your file first. Looks like the X Y Z coordinates are separated by a comma in a run on string. I would use Notepad ++ to replace the comma and space after it with a carriage return, then replace all the spaces with commas. Then you'd have rows of properly separated coordinates. The coordinates appear to be WGS 84.
In Notepad++
This worked for me. I had to open the CSV in Excel and save it to a new file so that ArcMap would recognize the new format. In ArcMap, add data, add XY data. Field 1 is X, Field 2 is Y, Field 3 is Z. The points drew in Nova Scotia near a Canadian National Park.
