[Qgis-user] geolocating a list of addresses

[Thayer Young]

 Hi Francesca,
As Ujaval has already pointed out, your problem is probably with the CRS of one of your layers. To check which one is the problem I recommend that you add a basemap, e.g. OpenStreetMap Standard, using the QuickMapServices plugin. The tutorials linked below will show you how to do that, if you do not know already. 
https://docs.qgis.org/3.16/en/docs/training_manual/qgis_plugins/index.html
If the problem is with your CSV file, you should try opening it again, and check that you have set the x and y and CRS correctly. For lat lon data you probably want WGS 84 as the CRS (EPSG code 4326). 

If your point coordinates are wonky, you can try the geocoding again using the "Batch Nominatim Geocoder" tool in newer versions of QGIS (3.20+). If your data are in the western hemisphere, check that the longitude is negative, if in the southern hemisphere latitude should be negative.

Thanks a lot Ujaval, now I see the points displayed!

The problem is different than I though then, because it's like this new
layer has a different scale with respect to the ones I was already working
on... how can I reconcile the two, in order to see the points within the
boundaries of related polygons?

Thank you so much once again!
Francesca
