My XY data is missing - what do I do?

Question

My xy data (which is in lat/long) wont show up with my other layers which are also shown in lat/long. They appear in two different places.. any advice?

They could be in lat/long and still use different CRS, did you check that they are correctly defined for each of your layer — J.R, Jul 05 '19 at 16:14

You may be defining the X field as the longitude and Y as latitude.

When I get in a hurry I flip them and my data shows up in very wrong locations.

Hey! Yes they are all right, I wish it was that simple! – Anna Jul 05 '19 at 16:07
And the coordinates are similar to the coordinates of your other data sets? – HeyOverThere Jul 05 '19 at 16:14
Yes, its a tricky one – Anna Jul 05 '19 at 16:26
