I have received a CSV file as part of my Email Alert, how do I add it as a layer in ArcMap?
– Open ArcMap and go to ‘Tools’ on the Main Menu – Select ‘Add XY Data’ -Navigate to the location of your .csv file and select the file It should automatically select: X Field: Longitude Y Field: Latitude Then you should select the Coordinate System – Click ‘Edit…’ then the ‘Spatial Reference Properties’ window will open – Click on ‘Select’ – Select ‘Geographic Coordinate System’ > ‘World’ > ‘WGS 1984’ – Click Add and click OK. To permanently save your detected hotspots/fires layer as a shapefile: – Right-click on the layer – Select ‘Data’ > ‘Export Data’ and enter the file name with the .shp extension – Click OK.
