# Coordinate formatting

Site Management displays coordinates in many places in the user interface, some are in full format and others in compact format. The full format is the more common one.

<div data-full-width="true"><figure><img src="/files/FPmRpC9qMVCJqNypvKqv" alt=""><figcaption><p>Coordinate formatting</p></figcaption></figure></div>

There are six options how the coordinates are displayed, five of these are predefined and one is fully customizable. The bolded option is the default setting.

* **Northing, Easting**
* Easting, Northing
* Decimal Degrees (WGS 84)
* Degrees and Decimal Minutes (WGS 84)
* Degrees, Minutes and Seconds (WGS 84)
* Custom template

{% hint style="info" %}
To use the custom template, these are the possible options:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.besmart.software/be.smart-site-management/getting-started/project-set-up-in-site-management/site-management-project-configuration/coordinate-formatting.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
