There are two places where coordinates display:

  • In the Status Bar by cursor location (set in the Map Options dialog box or by clicking on the Status Bar).
  • In dialog boxes that display area measurements, such as a Point Object, Region Object etc.
Note: Coordinates can only be entered in the Object Info dialog boxes when a layer is editable.

You can display coordinates in one of the following formats:

  • Decimal degrees (for example -97.90052°, 42.85732°)
  • Degrees, minutes, seconds (for example -97° 54' 1.908", 42° 51' 26.28")
  • Military Grid Reference (WGS 1984 datum) (for example 14TNN8982545555)
  • US National Grid Reference (NAD 83/WGS 84) (for example 14TNN8982545555)
  • US National Grid Reference (NAD 27) (for example 14TNN8985745342 (NAD 27))

The default is Decimal degrees.
