Silly reminders.
Change the XY Coordinates from “Meter” to “Decimal
Degree” format in the attribute table.
Working with points in ArcMap naturally drives the user to the X & Y arena, for X & Y are the heart and soul of a point.
Adding XY Coordinate fields can be done from the ArcToolbox - Add XY Coordinates (Data Management)
-
This tool modifies the
input data. See for more information and strategies to avoid undesired data
changes.
-
Add XY Coordinates is most
commonly used to get access to point features to perform analysis or to extract
points based on their x,y location.
-
If the POINT_X, POINT_Y,
POINT_Z, and POINT_M fields exist, their values are recalculated.
-
If points are moved after
using Add XY Coordinates, their POINT_X and POINT_Y values, and POINT_Z, and
POINT_M values—if present—must be recomputed by running Add XY Coordinates
again.
-
does not modify the values
of POINT_X, POINT_Y, POINT_Z, or POINT_M.
-
If the Input Features are
in a geographic coordinate system, POINT_X and POINT_Y represent the longitude
and latitude, respectively.
-
If an ArcMap layer is
selected as input , the x,y coordinates are based on the input's coordinate
system, not that of the data frame.
