Check the Coordinate System of the ArcMap Data Frame by navigating to View > Data Frame Properties
and click the Coordinate System tab.
2.
Check the coordinate systems of each layer in the map individually by right-clicking on the name of the
layer > Properties and click the Source tab. The Coordinate System of the layer is displayed in the Data
Source box.
3.
Check the coordinate systems of all data in the map by navigating to View > Data Frame Properties and
click the Coordinate System tab. Under 'Select a coordinate system', open the folder named Layers,
and the folder for each set of data in the Data Frame. The projection definition names are displayed.
14
3.
4.
5.
In the Contents pane, right-click a map, and click Properties to open the Map Properties dialog box.
Click the Coordinate System tab.
(The current coordinate system is shown in the title of the property page. You can click Details to see
details about the coordinate system. You can filter the coordinate systems shown in the dialog box by
performing a search on a string value. This filters the list of coordinate systems based on folder
names, coordinate system names, or well-known IDs (WKID). When using the filter options to reduce
the number of available coordinate systems, only the folders containing the matching coordinate
systems will appear.)
Either browse to the coordinate system you require in the list, or type part of the name of the
coordinate system you are trying to locate in the Search box.
To set the map's coordinate system to be the same as that of a particular layer on the map, expand
the Layers folder and expand the coordinate system. When the coordinate system is expanded, you'll
see the layers that reference it. This is a useful way to ensure all layers in your map are in the same
coordinate system.
To set the map's or scene's coordinate system to be the same as that of a layer that is not in the map,
click Import, and browse to a data source that is defined with the coordinate system you want to use.
Add the coordinate system to your Favorites list to make it available to all your projects.
In ArcMap, add the existing shape file or the geo-referenced image that you are going to reference the
new image against.
Activate the Georeferencing menu (View/ Toolbars - check mark "Georeferencing")
15
3.
Add the image layer which you want to georeference. Note that if it is a .jpg file, make sure you choose
the entire image file (below left). If you double click on the .jpg and see the individual bands listed in
the dialog box (below right), you have drilled down too far. Back up and add the .jpg file.
4.
Zoom in to the area of your shape file that corresponds to the area of the image - this is not necessary
but extremely helpful. If you need to look at the image to see what area it covers, right click on the
image in the table of contents and choose Zoom to Layer, then go back to your previous view of your
shape file and adjust the view of your GIS layers so that it displays approximately the same area
On the Georeferencing menu, make sure that your Layer specified is the image you want to
georeference.
From the Georeferencing menu, choose Fit to Display - the new image should fill the screen. You should
see the overlapping layers, and you may want to make your shape file data layer transparent or make
the features hollow, so that you can see both the un-georeferenced image and the georeferenced
shape file.
5.
6.
16
7.
Zoom in to the area of a location (such as a street intersection) which you can easily distinguish in both
the image and in one of the already geo-referenced shapefile themes. These will be the control points,
or shared points between your image and your existing geographic data.
8.
9.
10. You can use the zoom and pan tools during this process to zoom in to see your points more clearly
this will also help to make your control points more accurate, rather than trying to create them with
the entire area in view. Note: If you accidentally click the layers in the wrong order or make a bad
control point, do not hit Undo or you may lose the last layer added and all of your control points.
Instead, open the View Link Table
and remove the last control point created.
11. You should check your control points occasionally by choosing View Link Table icon on the
Georeferencing toolbar. This will show you all the control points, and when you have more than three it
will show you the RMS error. You can delete control points that have large errors and reenter them or
enter other points which result in a lower error.
12. When you have the image aligned with an acceptable RMS error, you should record the RMS error for
data quality reporting.
13. When you have completed the georeferencing process, you can create a permanently georeferenced
image by choosing Rectify from the Georeferencing menu - you can accept the default cell size that
ArcMap calculates or set your own. For scanned maps, you can leave the resampling type set to
Nearest Neighbor. Specify a name and location for the new image. The result will be a .tif image and a
.tfw world file, which tells ArcMap where in the world this image is now located.
14. With this georeferenced image, you can now digitize new features from the map.

In the Create New Shapefile Dialog, choose a file name, the type of file (point, line or polygon), and
choose a projection by clicking the edit button. Choose the Select button in the Spatial Reference
Properties dialog to choose the desired projection from a list. Although ArcMap can project on the
fly it is important to use the same projection for all map layers in a project in order to preserve
accuracy. Click OK twice.
The new shapefile may now be opened in an ArcMap project and used for on-screen digitizing.
There are numerous options available in ArcMap in terms of on-screen digitizing. This guide will only
introduce the very basics in order to facilitate use. In an open project, load a base layer (satellite
image, topo map, dem) and the newly created shapefile.
Bring up the Editor toolbar by right-clicking anywhere on the top button bar of ArcMap and choosing
Editor. Make sure the new shapefile is listed as the Target, and Create New Feature is listed as the
Task. Click the Editor button, and choose Start Editing. This activates the bar, and the Pencil tool may
be used to edit new features. For a polygon, single-click each node and double-click to close the
polygon. For a line, single-click each node and double-click to finish. For a point, click once for each
feature. Choose stop digitizing in the Editor button when complete.
As stated earlier, there are many options with regard to digitizing in ArcMap. For more information,
consult the help files or software manuals, particularly to understand table editing (in order to enter
attribute info for your digitized features), snapping features that share similar boundaries, and

streaming (a setting you can use to automatically create vertices with mouse movements, rather than
having to click each time).
Modifications to an existing layer can be made using the Modify Feature task, rather than Create New
Feature. Using the Edit Tool individual vertices can be moved, added or deleted. Right-click the
vertices with the edit tool to see all options available.

To ensure ArcMap reads the data in the file correctly, use Excel to format the columns containing the
Longitude (X, or Easting) and Latitude (Y, or Northing) values as NUMBER, with a minimum of 8 decimal
places.2.
The graphic below shows the distribution of positive and negative values for longitude (X) and latitude (Y)
coordinates worldwide.
Descriptions of the contents of each column are also required in the output file. Label columns ID,
Longitude, Latitude, Description, etc.
After formatting the file, select all the cells in populated rows and columns in the table and navigate to
File > Print Area > Set Print Area, or Page Layout > Print Area > Set Print Area.
Navigate to File > Save As, and select a supported format from the choices available in Excel. Click Yes if
Excel warns that certain formatting is not supported in this file format.
Exit Excel. Click No when Excel prompts to save the changes.
Note: If the changes are saved, Excel converts the file to an .xls or .xlsx Workbook that can only be used in
ArcMap at version 9.2 and newer versions.
To add the data from the .dbf, .csv, .txt or .prn file to ArcMap, navigate to Tools > Add XY Data and
select the file. In version 10.x, click the Add Data button.
Right-click the table name and select Display XY Data.
Warning: At version 10.x, ArcMap applies the coordinate system of the Data Frame to the XY Data. This
coordinate system is likely to be wrong for the data.
Click the Edit button to open the Spatial Reference Properties dialog box. Click the Select button to
select a coordinate system for the data.
Note: If a warning message regarding the missing Object-ID field is displayed, it is safe to ignore it and
click OK.

As an example, GPS data is most often collected in units of decimal degrees or lat/long, which is a
geographic coordinate system. Open this directory. Most frequently, GPS data is collected on the WGS
1984 datum, so open the World folder, and select WGS_1984.prj.
If the data has been collected on a different datum, click the link titled "Geographic Coordinate Systems
and Areas of Use" in the Related Information section below to find the appropriate datum.
8.
After defining the projection, click Add, Apply, and OK on the Spatial Reference Properties dialog box.
Click OK on the Add XY Data dialog box. The points are drawn as an event theme in ArcMap. Verify that
the Event theme aligns with the other data in ArcMap.
9. To convert the event theme to a shapefile or geodatabase feature class, right-click the file name and
select Data > Export Data. The points can be exported to a geodatabase feature class or to a shapefile.
10. The data can also be re-projected to the coordinate system of the ArcMap data frame during this
process. Go to View > Data Frame Properties > Coordinate System tab, and select the desired output
projection for the output data. To project while exporting, right-click the Events theme, select Data
> Export Data, and change the radio button to export to the "coordinate system of the data frame".
The output data is in the selected output coordinate system.
11. To project the event layer to a projected coordinate system using the Project tool, follow the
instructions below:
a) In ArcMap, navigate to ArcCatalog > Toolboxes > System Toolboxes > Data Management Tools >
Projections and Transformation > Project.
b) In the Project tool dialog box, fill the required parameters.
Input Dataset or Feature Class: The feature class, feature layer, or feature dataset to be projected.
Input Coordinate System (optional): The coordinate system of the input feature class or dataset.
Output Coordinate System: The coordinate system to which the input data is to be projected.
Geographic Transformation (optional): To be used to convert data between two geographic
coordinate systems or datums.
c) Click OK.
Note: If ArcMap warns of a "different geographic coordinate system than other data in the map",
navigate to View > Data Frame Properties > Coordinate System tab, and click the Transformations
button to verify that the correct datum transformation is being used for the area where the data is
located.
Note: For a list of geographic (datum) transformations and their areas of use, click the link "Select
the correct geographic (datum) transformation when projecting between datums". Under the
Related Information section of the article, download the list of transformations for the version of
ArcGIS Desktop installed on the computer.

Set up a table join so that the new format can be accessed in the original table.
6.
Be sure to check out the Convert Coordinate Notation tool help for more information and also to learn
the format of each notation.

The first step is to export your data to a GPX file using your GPS device (a format just about all of them
support). Next, well add the GPX file to Explorer by choosing Add, then GPS Data Files, as shown
below:
2.
3.
After making choices and clicking Add, we now have our GPX file displayed in ArcGIS Explorer Desktop
with all the correct symbols.
22
4.
5.
You can choose to share as either a layer package, KML, or Explorer map content file. We chose layer
package since not only does ArcMap support LPKs, but the layer package also captures the symbols for
display in ArcMap.
6.
Start ArcMap, then drag and drop the layer package onto your map. Below weve also connected to the
ArcGIS Online world imagery basemap which serves as our foundation for displaying the nowconverted GPX file, just like we used in Explorer. Note that the symbols are exactly the same.
23
7.
If you are interested in a live feed from a GPS device, you have another option. ArcMap enables you to
create a direct connection to a GPS unit for live input. Right-click on the menu and look for the GPS
toolbar:

Make sure you received KML and not KMZ (zipped KML package) data. If you received KMZ, open the
file in Google Earth first and save as KML. Refer to this blog post for detail instructions. Note: You
might try to work on KMZ directly in ArcMap, I confirmed that ArcMap 10.2 can import point data
from KMZ file, but previous version and other data (lines, polygons) had given me problems in the
past when I tried importing from KMZ directly.
Start ArcMap (new project or any project covering the area your data are coming from).
Open ArcToolBox (click on the red toolbox icon on the top). In Conversion Tool/From KML start KML
To Layer.
32
3.
Browse to the KML file you saved and run the tool.

.
Conversion using ArcGIS
First, open the layer that you wish to covert.
In the ArcToolbox window, expand Conversion Tools, then To KML, and select Layer to KML.
When the Layer to KML window appears, first select the shapefile or layer for the Layer box.
Next select a directory for the file to be created and provide a name for the file.
Finally, you must enter a number for the Layer Output Scale. If your layer has a scale-dependent renderer,
this setting allows you to export the KML at a specific level of resolution. Otherwise, it has no effect,
whatever the number.
If you are sure that your map is ready to produce or export, then Click on File Menu
Click on Export Map
Select the desire folder and provide appropriate name of your map.
Select file types as you need
5.
Remember if you want to use the file for email then following basic file types are available
PDF: Portable document format (share by email)
