Is there an example template of a CSV file that can successfully be added to ArcGIS Earth?  The wizard pops up and I am selecting fields for both X and Y.  I get "string errors" after that.  I have experimented with multiple coordinate formats.  Any help or examples of success would be much appreciated.

can you provide examples? It sounds like your csv isn't correct and that is pretty basic

- I was hoping that someone could provide me examples of a well formatted CSV. (I was building from scratch, to test)

- Also, what are some of the issues that make a CSV "incorrect"?

field names with spaces, blank rows, characters other than letters and the underscore

Longitude, Latitude, Class

-75.5, 45.5, A

makes a point with a class attribute,
