[Qgis-user] Fwd: Import and convert points from Google Maps

[Renato Saboya]

Dear all:
I am trying to generate a point shapefile from lat/long coordinates
obtained from Google Maps' API. They were generated by a WordPress plugin
(Gravity Forms Geolocation Add-on) and processed in R to generate a new CSV
file with the latitude and longitude in Y and X columns, respectively. I
tried to import them to QGIS using "Add delimited text layer..." and EPSG
3857, which I found online to be the EPSG of Google Maps. I now want to
convert this layer / shape to UTM in order to integrate it with my other
layers.

The points are created correctly, apparently. When I check their
coordinates and compare to the ranges of values in Google Maps, they seem
ok.

However, if I try to load another shapefile of the same location, it falls
very far from the points. Similarly, If I try to load a map from
QuickMapServices, it doesn't work: "*QuickMapServices: Failed to download
all 1 files. - Google Satellite*".

When I save the point shape to UTM (EPSG 31982) to check the coordinates,
the values are not coherent with other shapes of the same location:

Converted coordinates:

What the coordinates should look like (approximate values):

I also tried inverting the values of lat / long to x and y, to no avail.

Any thoughts would be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
