I need to take coordinates that are in UTM and use the points in a Lat/Lon
(WGS84)  based map. I tried making a new table:

 

Fields: Point (Char 10), North (Float), East (Float), Elevation (Float),
Description (Char 30)

 

Table is Mappable (Checked)

 

Projection: UTM Zone 15 (NAD 83)

 

When I picked the projection for the table I took "Y" coords from North, "X"
from East, selected "1" for the multipliers, and added the layer. Goodness
knows where on the map it went, but it was nowhere near 44N and 91.7W!

 

Then I noticed a typo in the data and corrected that. Then I updated the
North and East columns using "Centroid Y" and "Centroid X." Wow.

731714.39 North 3223286.51 East became 40.5966 and 6.03636 and 

729928.18 North 3225876.22 East became 74.0435 and -69.0792.

 

Please tell me where I messed up and how to fix it (in simple terms,
please).
