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

[Raymond Nijssen]

The coordinates in your screenshot (-48 -27) seem decimal lat lon 
coordinates (wgs84, epsg:4326). Somewhere in the south of Brazil?

Can you provide some coordinates straight from your csv? Just post the 
first 2 lines of the csv file.
