Hello
I have a dataset of latitude and longitude points that I need to convert to X and Y coordinates.
I have installed "geo2xy" and tried to use it by the resulting points just don't make any sense.

Below is an example with some made up data. Can anyone see what I might be doing wrong?

Many thanks
Anna

Using Stata SE/14.2

------------------------------------

clear

set obs 2

gen latitude=-35.2729 in 1/1
replace latitude=-35.204 in 2/2

gen longitude=150.094 in 1/1
replace longitude=162.125 in 2/2

list

geo2xy latitude longitude, gen(y x)

list
