Points are correct, but are just ~5 miles away from correct location? CRS adjustment recommendations?
Hi friends, I'm a brand new QGIS learner!
For a friend's business, I'm trying to do an analysis based on LinkNYC (Free wifi/phone call/advertising kiosks around NYC) locations across New York City.
I've imported the .csv from the NYC OpenData website (URL below), and - after messing with the EPSG / CRS settings - this was as close as I got.
I amended the CRS for the 'LinkNYC' layer to EPSG 4326, even though OpenStreetMap doesn't run in that EPSG? This is my guess, and it appears that OpenStreetMap and NYC OpenData don't tend to use the same CRS standards.
TL;DR - How best to proceed to get these LinkNYC locations accurately plotted? Whether with a better-matching world map, or in CRS adjustments, or otherwise?
Thank you very much for y'all's guidance!
