View a shapefile, then plot points with lat/long?

Hi,
I have a shapefile of the San Francisco Bay Area, which I am reading into Matlab using the following:
S = shaperead('bayarea_general.shp');
I can then view a map of the shapefile using:
mapshow(S)
That all works fine, however, my map is not in lat/long degrees. I would like it to be, since I have a list of points with associated lat/long coordinates. I thought the map might be in UTM, so I converted my data to UTM but that doesn't plot correctly.
My questions are:
1) How do I figure out the coordinate system that my shapefile is in?
2) How do I convert either the shapefile, or my own lat/long data to be in the same format/coordinate system?
Thanks!

Hey Niky,
You can figure out the coordinate system of a shapefile using the shapeinfo function!
sInfo= shapeinfo('bayarea_general.shp');
sInfo.CoordinateReferenceSystem
For more information on shapeinfo function you can checkout the following documentation.

In order to convert the shapefile and your lat, long data in the same format, you can read the shapefile using the readgeotable function (which copies your shapefile into a MATLAB structure variable).
saveGeoTable = readgeotable('bayarea_general.shp');
For more information on readgeotable function you can checkout the following documentation.
https://in.mathworks.com/help/map/ref/readgeotable.html
If your lat, long are stored in a csv file, you can read a csv file using readtable function (which copies your csv file into a MATLAB structure variable).
saveTable = readtable("lat_long.csv")
For more information on readtable function you can checkout the following documentation.
https://in.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/readtable.html?searchHighlight=readtable&s_tid=srchtitle_readtable_1
This is one of the ways in which you can have these 2 types of data in the same format.
Thanks and regards,
