Hey, does anyone know how to add an excel table of long/lat points to a map in GIS (ArcMap)? I have done some geocoding before but that relies on street addresses for a match. Is there a different way of doing this for long/lat positions, so that they appear as points on a GIS map?<br />
<br />
Much appreciated,<br />

Adding an excel table of long/lat points to a GIS

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that provides reliable location and time information in all weather and at all times and anywhere on or near the Earth when and where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. A geographic information system (GIS) or geospatial information system is any system that captures, stores, analyzes, manages, and presents data that are linked to location(s). In the simplest terms, GIS is the merging of cartography, statistical analysis, and database technology.
