<p>Try this: <br>
</p>
<p>X field is Long</p>
<p>Y field is lat <br>
</p>
<p>Don't click DMS - leave unchecked. <br>
</p>
<p>Click add and see if those now line up where they need to line
up. I tossed an OSM map up there and I'm assuming these are road
outcrops - so I feel mostly good about the import. <br>

<div>i have attached a csv file of several points with 2 simple
text labels to accompany the x, y positions. </div>
<div>when i import this file, i try to import in DMS decimal
format. i specify column 2 as the x and column 3 as the y.
when it imports, it puts the points in the wrong spot. the x
column becomes y and the y columns is completely in error.
this should be a fairly simple import, can you please tell me
how i can get this file to import properly. i was importing
into WGS 84 so that should not be the issue.</div>
