Hi-
New to GIS and taking a class this summer and created some waypoints. Entered them into Excel and saved them into .csv format. Tried loading into ArcGIS and nothing will load.
I typed in the lat and long just as it was displayed on my Garmin etrex.
Attached is the txt file i created from the csv file as Google will not let me upload .csv file extensions.
Thanks!
Mike

In order for CSV files to work properly, the coordinates need to be in decimal degrees instead of degrees, decimal minutes and instead of using N and W use the minus sign for latitudes west of the Prime meridian, or south of the equator.
For Example:
Your first coordinate
VCom1 N 39° 57.184' W 105° 01.311'
should read more like:
VCom1 39.953066 -105.02185
This should help.
