Regarding the lat/lon issue................ #7

I may I have fallen victim to one of the classic blunders: different geographic coordinate systems.

I got my location lat/lon data from google maps, which is in CRS web mercator and the data is WGS84. While the coordinates are 1 - 1, they project differently (it's confusing. don't worry, i'm confused too). More information can be found here: https://georeference.org/forum/t143203. I'm going to look at getting new coordinates for the locations we're looking at and seeing if that makes a difference in point selection.
