# Troubleshooting dataset imports

## If you're experiencing difficulty importing geographical datasets, you may need to transform your dataset so that it uses an appropriate Coordinate Reference System.

Currently, Podaris supports the WGS84 Coordinate Reference System (CRS). Attempting to import a GeoJSON dataset with a CRS other than WSG84 will produce an **"0" must be less than or equal to 180** error.

![CRS error](https://support.podaris.com/hubfs/image-png-May-06-2022-03-04-25-56-PM.png)

A number of tools exist for identifying the CRS of a dataset when it is unknown, and transforming its data into a new CRS.

- [MyGeodata Convertor](https://mygeodata.cloud/converter/geojson-to-latlong) - an online tool for identifying a dataset's CRS and converting it.
- [A guide to saving a dataset in another CRS](https://docs.qgis.org/3.22/en/docs/training_manual/vector_analysis/reproject_transform.html#moderate-fa-saving-a-dataset-to-another-crs) with the free, open source and cross-platform GIS tool [QGIS](https://www.qgis.org/).
