Hi Nôra,

maybe it´s a useful hint that the points are not somewhere in the ocean, but 
more or less exactly at the intersection of equator and prime meridian (0°/0°)?

Regards

Simon

Hi Randy,

I used the “Add point” feature.
It is not stacked because the “phantom” points are all at the same location 
somewhere in the ocean.

Good morning Nora (or afternoon) ,

I'm wondering if you select (draw a polygon using the select tool) around one 
or two points you might select 2 or 4 points - you may have points stacked 
accidentally.

Hallo Chris,

Hope you are well??

Thanks for the reply.

Why are you using "Add polygon feature" when your goal appears to be adding 
points?
Sorry, I now realised that I wrote “polygon feature”. I actually use “Add point 
feature”



What is the geometry of your shapefile layer?  If you intend to have points in 
it, then the geometry should be "point".
The geometry is Point.

I am counting informal structures in our project areas.
I created a shapefile layer and use the “Toggle editing – Add polygon feature”  
function to add a point. Every structure gets a dot.

I hope this email finds you in the mountains, and as sun peeps through the
