Hi,

I have a MariaDB-Database-Table with GPS-Points (from Phonetrack) an
want to visualize them in QGIS.

I imported the table with a dataset-connection to MariaDB and I see the
plain text data.

After that I created a virtual point layer by using make_point from lat
and lon.

I can see the points on map but they are in the middle of the ocean next
to south africa and not all over europe.

I tried different CRS (project crs is 3857 (I do have some other layers
in this projects with i.e. online routing tool, or other point layers.

But I can not achieve to move the coords/points to correct position -
all other layers are right.

Any ideas?

Regards

PS: In generell, which is the "best" CRS for handling with GPS-Coords
like saved by phonetrack (exported to GPX) or by i.e. Android GPStracker
(exported as GPX)?
