    Hi Sara, <br>
    <br>
    if you want to use latitude and longitude values in a CSV file to be
    recognized by gvSIG, you should have them as a decimal value in
    decimal degrees (not degrees, minutes and seconds).<br>
    <br>
    The decimals separator to be used will depend on the language you
    select in the "Regional configuration" option. "English"
    configuration usually uses "." and "Spanish" uses ",". Make sure
    that the decimal separator you use is not the same than the field
    separator in the CSV. Normally with the regional configuration in
    English you will not have problems with the field separator.<br>
    <br>
    About using decimal degrees, you can find more information on:<br>
    <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/degrees-minutes-seconds-to-degrees.html">https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/degrees-minutes-seconds-to-degrees.html</a><br>
    <br>
    To load the CSV in gvSIG you must load it as a layer, and in the
    "Add layer" dialog, access to Properties button.<br>
    It adjusts the values of regional configuration and fields separator
    as it corresponds, and you have to press on "Preview".<br>
    When you see the preview table correctly, in the "Geometry" tab
    select "Columns with values for X, Y, Z", and select the field
    Longitude for X and Latitude for Y.<br>
    <br>
    I attach an example of a CSV file with geographic coordinates if you
    want to check it. <br>
    <br>
    Let us know if it works. <br>
    <br>
    Best regards,<br>
      Mario<br>

              Hi Sara!<br>
              <br>
              you can create an event layer in EPSG 4326 without
              problem. It's the same than in UTM. <br>
              <br>
              For that you have two options: <br>
              <br>
              - Loading the CSV file from the Project manager and
              "Table" document, and then from a View in 4326 you access
              to the "Event layer" option. Then you select the CSV file,
              and "Latitude" for "Y" and "Longitude" for "X". It's a
              virtual layer because it's a table, you will have to
              export it to SHP format to have a point layer. <br>
              <br>
              - In a View in 4326 you access to "Add layer", and from
              "File" you add the CSV file. You select it at that window
              and accessing to Properties, and "Geometry" tab, you can
              select fields for Latitude and Longitude. It's also a
              virtual layer because it's a table, so you will have to
              export it to SHP format to have a point layer. <br>

                            Hello Sara, <br>
                            <br>
                            the current Java version, Java 8, that is
                            included in gvSIG, doesn't support ODBC
                            connections. In that way it was possible to
                            connect to Access databases, but it's not
                            possible now. If there's an entity
                            interested in financing that development it
                            would be done. <br>
                            <br>
                            In addition, there's a way to load the data
                            from the table in gvSIG, that is exporting
                            to DBF or CSV files previously. They can be
                            added as a point layer in gvSIG, using the
                            coordinates of the table. <br>
                            <br>
                            There are two ways: <br>
                            <br>
                            1. Event layer: Here you can see how to do
                            it: <a

                            <br>
                            You can export the event layer to shapefile
                            later. <br>
                            <br>
                            2. Adding the table as layer: For that you
                            can access to "Add layer", then from the
                            "File" tab you select the CSV or DBF file,
                            and you access to the "Properties" button.
                            At the "Geometry" tab you can select the
                            fields with X and Y coordinates. Here you
                            have a video about that (it's in Spanish but
                            it will be useful to find the menus): <br>
                            <a

                              target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://youtu.be/SzIm7daWQsg?t<wbr>=362</a><br>
                            You can export the CSV or DBF layer to
                            shapefile later. <br>
                            <br>
                            The DBF file can be edited later from gvSIG
                            directly, and you can edit its
                            alphanumerical information. <br>
                            <br>
                            If you export it to shapefile you can edit
                            it too. Here you can see how to do it <br>
