enter image description hereI am importing a CSV file into QGIS using the official instructions on their page: http://www.qgistutorials.com/en/docs/importing_spreadsheets_csv.html. For some reason, the x & y coordinates are showing up on QGIS in the wrong place. I have checked the coordinates in Google Maps and they correctly present the locations I want to see in Tanzania.
Can you please explain what I am doing wrong by reviewing the attachment.
Under Settings -> Options, CRS tab, you can select that you want to get asked for the CRS of new layers by checking Prompt for CRS.
The data in your table seems to be in degrees, so EPSG:4326 might be the right one.
The Project CRS can be different from that. For backgrounds by the Openlayers plugin, EPSG:3857 is the best choice for that.
