Format your coordinates so they work in Google Maps: Use decimal degrees in the following format: Correct: 41.40338, 2.17403; Incorrect: 41,40338, 2,17403; Enter the latitude coordinate first before the longitude coordinate. Check that the first number in your latitude coordinate is between -90 and 90.
Google Maps is in a projected coordinate system that is based on the wgs84 datum. (EPSG 3857) The data in Open Street Map database is stored in a gcs with units decimal degrees & datum of wgs84. (EPSG: 4326) The Open Street Map tiles and the WMS webservice, are in the projected coordinate system that is based on the wgs84 datum. (EPSG 3857)
Google uses Google Mercator projection. EPSG:900913. For proj4 settings see here. To display your data in Google Mercator: On QGIS status bar click on the grey globe icon to open the Project Properties page. Check Enable 'on the fly' CRS transformation and select Google Mercator -EPSG 900913 and click Apply.
I have saved Google Maps image (not Google Earth) of area at latlon(17.692437,83.218689) by some method in jpeg format. It is an exact snapshot of the Google Maps. Now I need to geo-reference it to use it as base map for my digitization. What projection or coordinate system shall I use? Some says its WGS-84 Mercator projection.
To format your coordinates so they work in Google Maps, use decimal degrees in the following format: Correct: 41.40338, 2.17403; Incorrect: 41,40338, 2,17403; Tips: List your latitude coordinates before longitude coordinates. Check that the first number in your latitude coordinate is between -90 and 90.
I'm working with data in America and the main calculations are for nearest neighbors. Results will be plotted back on a web map (eg: via Google maps API or leaflet) Question: What spatial reference system is Google map using? I figured out so far that its the WGS 84 datum with the Mercator projection in the geographic coordinate system.
What you need to do is first display your CSV in the proper coordinate system (BC Albers) so QGIS can then re-project it to Google Maps Mercator (3857). EPSG:3857 -- WGS84 Web Mercator (Auxiliary Sphere) is what you want. So what you need to do is add your CSV to QGIS using 'Layer > Add Layer > Add Delimited Text Layer'.

Planar units: meters. Google maps API employs a metric (not an imperial) system of measuring quantities. Well, Google maps co-ordinates are in degrees (decimal points), although these co-ordinates are generated in radians. 1 radian equals 57.296 degrees.
