Your help is very much appreciated.</div><div><br></div><div>Your last comment:</div></div><div><br></div><div><blockquote type="cite">Maybe there is another typo in your dataset. Alternatively, you can try<br><br>ogr2ogr Global_24h.shp Global_24h.vrt<br><br>and see if that shows the points correctly.<br></blockquote></div><br><div>I tried the ogr2ogr utility that came with PostGIS by Postgresql.app and the resulting shapefile loads correctly in QGIS. The .vrt file I converted is the unedited one (see below) without the relativeToVRT="1" and reportSrcColumn="false" attributes:</div><div><br></div><div><OGRVRTDataSource></div><div> <OGRVRTLayer name="Global_24h"></div><div> <SrcDataSource>Global_24h.csv</SrcDataSource></div><div> <GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType></div><div> <LayerSRS>EPSG:4326</LayerSRS></div><div> <GeometryField encoding="PointFromColumns" x="longitude" y="latitude"/></div><div> </OGRVRTLayer></div><div></OGRVRTDataSource></div><div><br></div><div>The virtual file above seems to load correctly on windows as in your case. Can I ask other mac users to test the above .vrt file, the .csv can be downloaded from <a href="http://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/active_fire/text/Global_24h.csv">http://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/active_fire/text/Global_24h.csv</a> and see if they need to insert the additional attributes display the points?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div><br></div><div>Andrea</div><div><br></div><div>NOTE: This is my first support request and I noticed that I didn't reply properly. Almost all my mails represent a new thread. How do I replay so that my replays appear indented from the previous post etc..</div></body></html>
