Clicking this button opens a field where specific decimal coordinates can be entered.
(If you want to look for Minute-Second-coordinates, you will have to convert them to decimal coordinates first)
Clicking OK will set a marker on the map at these coordinates.
To delete the marker click on 'Clear Coordinates Marker' 
The numerals at the bottom right hand corner of the window represent the coordinates at the cursors current position.
Important Advice
