Hey @NGProject, I would suggest exporting the table as Geopoint_CSV.-.Trim.mp4As you can see, I added a negative sign(-) for the longitude value. This is because, as per standards, the latitude value is taken positive starting from North and the longitude value is taken positive starting from West. So, whenever we're dealing with latitudes starting from South and longitudes starting from East, we'll have to prefix the value with a negative sign. |

Hey @NGProject, I would suggest exporting the table as
.csvso that you get familiar with the format in which the coordinates have been stored. I created a small video to demonstrate the process after you have exported the table and cleared the existing field values (to avoid duplicates).Geopoint_CSV.-.Trim.mp4
