Working with Map Projections Margaret M. Maher Author of “Lining Up Data in ArcGIS: a guide to map projections” Second edition

My data doesn’t line up! Data doesn’t have a projection defined. - How do I identify the projection? Data has a projection defined, but the data draws in the wrong place. The XY data brought into ArcMap does not show up where it is supposed to. What projection should I use for my project?

Here are some techniques to identify projections for data. Examine the coordinate system for city polygons in Germany First find the polygons! Compare the coordinates with the provinces layer Examine the coordinate system for city points in Germany First find the points! Compare with the provinces and countries layers

When adding XY data from a table to ArcMap Here are things to watch out for: The data must be in the proper format: - XLS, XLSX, PRN, CSV, DBF, TXT formats can all be used. The field names must not be over 10 characters long, cannot contain spaces, cannot contain special characters, and field names cannot begin with a number. Fields containing coordinates must be formatted as Double. Fields formatted as General will drop decimals when brought into ArcMap. For coordinates in decimal degrees, set the field properties to a minimum of 6 decimal places.

How to add the XY data table to ArcMap: Click on the Add Data button, navigate to the file, and add to the map. Right click on the name of the table, and Open. Examine the coordinates, and note the names of the fields that contain the X (Longitude) and Y (Latitude) values. Right click on the name of the table, and select Display XY Data. WARNING: If the ArcMap Data Frame already has a projection assigned, that will need to be corrected in the Display XY Data dialog!

What projection should I use for my project? There are four major considerations: 1] Objective – what do you need to preserve? - Distance Area Shape Direction 2] How much area does the data cover? A city, a province, a small country, a continent, the whole earth? 3] Where is the data located on the earth’s surface? Is it polar, at the Equator, at the midlatitudes? 4] What is the shape of the data? Is it larger north to south, or is the larger extent east to west? Knowledge Base article is linked to a list of supported map projections that includes properties of each map projection, and normal applications for each projection.
