Geographic Information Systems Asked by Nicolas Falconi on October 5, 2020
Lately, I’ve been trying to use lat/long information to plot on QGIS without any good results because I lack the correct EPSG code for the coordinate reference system. This is not the case with Google Earth, which always plots in the correct places using lat/long information.
I concluded that Google has an automatic way to discern them an select the correct coordinate reference system, and other posts have also suggested it. Is there a way to know which one are they using for my data?

Note: my data is from Como, Italy.
Google Earth uses EPSG:4326 (WGS84). If you put coordinates into Google Earth and they look correct, then they are probably EPSG:4326.
And as one comment mentioned, do check your lat,lon vs lon,lat order. In Google Earth a KML with a Point will use lon,lat (eg: 3.028,54.825 for a point in the North Sea) in the KML itself, but the search bar in Google Earth expects the reverse and more common order of lat,lon (eg: (eg: 54.825,3.028). Most other software will also use lat,lon.
