I have recently set up coordinates for my health facilities, but when I am trying to visualize in GIS at the health facility level dhis2 throws: “invalid coordinates”, can someone help on this? I have attached a picture showing how my coordinates look like.

the coordinates in your image seems OK to me. Latitude must be within 90 to -90.
I guess a different orgunit is messing up. You can e.g. try to use the boundary layer, select facility level and then select a single province/district in the tree. If it works you can go district by district to localize the error.

Hi Joao,
The lattitude value you have entered in point coordinate is a negative value. It needs to be corrected. Are u using a local coordinate or WGS84?

Latitudes south of the equator is always negative (at least in the typical geographical coordinate systems normally used in dominant GIS systems).
Joao,
Can you please post the complete list of coordinates - seeing one sample does not really help (your sample definitely looks like it’s somewhere in Moz). Also post the complete list of Organisational Units.
Jan Henrik’s suggestion might work, but it’s very cumbersome - I prefer to ensure perfect alignment of OrgUnits + verify the validity of all coordinates (as far as you can go - occasionally funny things seems happen when e.g. converting to GML) BEFORE importing the data
Regards
Calle

Sheet 2 has the facility column, LON, LAT (note: DHIS2 requires LON then LAT) - I rounded to 4 decimals at the same time. NOTE also that I checked all the rows, and highlighted illegal/absurd coordinates in red.
Sheet 3 is a cleaned version, pure text, with all illegal/absurd coordinate rows removed. This sheet was then saved as the .csv file.
I then imported the .csv file into ArcGIS and created the attached shapefile.
What you now need to do is to convert that shapefile to GLM, AND MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE NON-ASCII CHARACTERS YOU FIND IN PORTUGUESE ARE CODED PROPERLY IN THE GLM FILE. See for instance http://www.periodni.com/unicode_utf-8_encoding.html#german_special_characters if you need to know the codes for various characters.
Finally, I have obviously skipped one step that you always should do before creating the shapefile - and that is to compare the list of OrgUnits with the DHIS2 OrganisationUnit table. You can do that using e.g. MS Access, or PostgreSQL, or whatever other database software that supports joins. I must admit that if your list is what you have in DHIS2, you might consider cleaning it up quite a bit: remove full stops, colons, and other special characters. They tend to cause problems sooner or later…
