||  [[JOSMImage(statusline/lat)]]  || The geographic latitude of the mousepointer || A left click opens the [wikitr:/Help/Action/JumpToPosition Jump to Position Dialog]. With a right click you can change the coordinates format (`Decimal Degrees`, `deg° min' sec"`, `deg° min'` ''(Nautical)'', ''Projected Coordinates''). ||
||  [[JOSMImage(statusline/lon)]]  || The geographic longitude of the mousepointer || Same as above. ||
||  [[JOSMImage(statusline/heading)]]  || The (compass) heading of the line segment being drawn. || ||

With a right click you can directly choose one measurement system. ||

=== Advanced Preferences ===#AdvancedPreferences
With the following keys in the [wikitr:/Help/Preferences/Advanced Advanced Preferences] you can adjust the numbers in the statusbar:
* `latlon.dms.decimal-format`: adjusts the number of decimal places of the coordinates in deg° min' sec" format
* `latlon.dm.decimal-format`: adjusts the number of decimal places of coordinates in deg° min' (Nautical) format
* `statusbar.decimal-format`: adjusts the number of decimal places of heading, angle and distance/length
* `statusbar.distance-threshold`: determines when to display `--` instead of the distance
After changing such a key you need to restart JOSM.
