Hi Meggie,

Thanks for this question.

Regarding coordinates: CODAP looks for attributes with names that suggest latitude and longitude.

For latitude these are: ‘latitude’, ‘lat’, ‘Latitude’, ‘Lat’, ‘LAT’, ‘LATITUDE’, ‘LATITUD’, ‘latitud’

And for longitude these are: ‘longitude’, ‘long’, ‘lng’, ‘Longitude’, ‘Long’, ‘Lng’, ‘LONG’, ‘LON’,

  'LONGITUDE', 'LONGITUD', 'longitud'

Once you have attribute names CODAP can recognize, making a map should show points for each case. (Close any maps you have open first.)

I’ll answer the question about boundaries in a following post.
