Hi Jan

Tonny working with the GIS unit in CDC has been helping us with the GIS
component in the DHIS2. He referred to the manuals to try to add some
coordinates manually, however they did not show.  See below his questions.
P.s We had imported shape files for the regions and the districts, however
we did not have coordinates for the facilities.

Subject: Health Facility coordinates in DHIS2
To: kasozis@xxxxxxxxx


**

I have an inventory of health facilities with longitude and latitude values
stored as decimal degrees. I entered some longitudes and latitudes of some
health facilities but they do not display in the map as points when i
generate the thematic layers and the facility layers
Questions:
1. How do i import all the coordinates to the coordinates field into DHIS2
2. How do i get the facilities to display as points in the GIS module in
the thematic and health facility layers after adding them manually.
