Coordinate display and the ArcGIS for Maritime: Charting (Maritime Charting)

The coordinates are displayed in the status bar as latitude, longitude (y,x) when the display units are geographic coordinates and the ArcGIS for Maritime: Charting extension is enabled. Geographic coordinates include Decimal Degrees (DD), Degrees Minutes Seconds (DMS), and Degrees Decimal Minutes (DDM). All other display units are still represented as x,y. The display units are set on the General tab of the Data Frame Properties dialog box.
