<p><font size="+1">I'm mapping the location of trees and plants
along the famous Promenade in </font><font size="+1"><font
size="+1">Brooklyn, NY</font>. Above a bottom layer of
GoogleSatelliteHybrid, I've drawn polygons representing 35
gardens, and then there are layers for trees in each garden,
plants, etc. The project CRS is EPSG:2263 since having
coordinates measured in feet is very convenient because
volunteers are giving me pieces of graph paper with trees, etc.
marked in pencil; each square on the graph paper represents one
foot. I want to plot all that relative to the northwest corner
of each garden. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+1"> Now here's my problem. Using my cell phone
and an Android app called Lat Long, I captured l</font><font
size="+1"><font size="+1">atitude and longitude at</font> each
corner. When I create a layer of garden corners they all appear
to be in Pennsylvania. I know that this forum (and many web
sites) are full of hundreds of explanations of how to reconcile
different CRS's. I've read many lengthy explanations and
advice. I'm sorry to be dumb, but I just can't bring those
corner points back to Brooklyn. I know that along my gardens
the longitude is something like -73.993 degrees (or 985217 feet)
and latitude approximately 40.695 degrees (or 193982 feet).
And the long and lat reported by my phone is close to that. But
when I put long and lat into QGIS (by reading delimited data
from a .csv file) the long becomes -77.519 and the lat 40.112
(about 200 miles west and slightly south of where they should
be). The .csv file has columns labelled "Longitude" and
"Latitude" ; the Data Source Manager > Delimited Text
window shows that QGIS got that right. </font><font size="+1">
The attribute table of that layer seems to confirm that.</font></p>
<p><font size="+1"> I've tried loading the corner points file and
then saving it as a shape file with crs 2263, but it still puts
those points in Pennsylvania.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+1"> Any advice would be very welcome. Thanks in
advance for your thoughts.</font></p>
