How do I change the coordinate system in Google Maps?

The method to change the coordinate system is performed within Google Earth, not directly in Google Maps. Here's how to do it:

1. Open Google Earth.
2. Go to Tools in the menu.
3. Select Options.
4. Navigate to the "Show Lat/Long" section.
5. Choose your desired coordinate system from the dropdown menu. Available options include:
   • Decimal Degrees
   • Degrees, Minutes, Seconds
   • Degrees, Decimal Minutes
   • Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM)
6. Click OK to save your changes.

After completing these steps, the coordinates displayed in Google Earth will be in your selected coordinate system. Note that this only changes the display format within Google Earth; underlying geospatial data remains unchanged.
