Adding a CSV with GPS coordinates points to Google Earth Engine

Geographic Information Systems Asked by Banretef on March 2, 2021

I’m trying to add a CSV with Lat/Lon to Google Earth Engine.

I looked at the answer below, however, I seem to be making an error somewhere.

Adding x,y coordinates from table in Google Earth Engine

My CSV is structured as follows and is saved as comma-separated UTF-8. The file has 7000 lines, I have added the first 10:

y,x
50.1275,26.4817
50.1275,26.4816
40.5549,21.3141
40.5548,21.3141
46.5152,24.5436
39.0794,21.7808
39.0792,21.7808
39.0794,21.781
39.0789,21.782
39.0793,21.7811
39.0793,21.7812

Here are the steps I took:

  1. Add new -> CSV – > Select the CSV file

  1. Change X column to x and Y column to y. Dont touch anything else.

  1. Wait for file to upload, ingest.

I keep getting the following when the file is uploaded (rather than the actual plotted coordinates)

Either this:

or a variation showing x and y as their own "float" columns

I’ve added this correctly before, but cant figure out where I am making the mistake. This is a previous "successful" upload:

Here’s a link to the CSV:

Any help on this will be amazing – I’m up to ~100 slightly different attempts :/

When you upload the CSV, make sure to scroll down in the “Advanced options” section and enter the names of your coordinate columns here:
