1) Open ArcMap 2) Locate a a button with a black cross with yellow diamond underneath (below'Selection') 3) Click the tiny triangle drop-down button to its immediate right 4) Select 'Add Data' 5) Find location where local text file resides. For example: (Home - Documents\ArcGIS) 6) Select a text file of interest and click Add - The text file should have at least two columns: X and Y coordinates 7) Locate the text file in the Table Of Contents tab in the left 8) Right click the text file. 9) Select 'Display XY Data...' 10) In the pop-up window 'Display XY Data', choose XField and YField - the default should work. 11) Check that in the same pop-up window the box labelled 'Coordinate System of Input Coordinates' contains GCS_WGS_1984 - If not: click the 'Edit...' Button. --> Click the Plus sign for 'Geographic Coordinate Systems' --> Click the Plus sign for 'World' --> Select 'WGS 1984' --> Press OK 12) Click 'OK'. 13) Most likely a window titled 'Table Does Not Have Object-ID Field' will pop up, but do not fret 14) The points will show on the big screen in the middle.
