Plotting X/Y Coordinates You can plot your data that has coordinate information (latitude/longitude or any other coordinate system) into ArcGIS. The program plots the locations as points on your map.
How to display XY coordinates in a map?
From the pop up menu, choose Display XY Data. The Display XY Data dialog box will appear. Choose the fields from your table that you want to populate with X and Y data. LATITUDE coordinates should be mapped to the Y value, while LONGITUDE coordinates should be mapped to the X value. Click OK.
How to add x, y coordinate data as a layer?
To add x,y coordinates to a map, you use the XY Point Data option on the Add Data menu as described in the steps below. This opens the XY Table To Point tool, which creates a feature class from the tabular data and adds a layer based on that feature class to the current map or scene.
How to map XY data in ArcMap-ESRI?
If you set the coordinate system in the Add XY dialog to match your XY coords in the table on the initial add xy to map , the points will plot on your map in the right place no matter what the data frame coordinate system is set to. Please read the KB article I linked, it walks you through the process, step by step.
