Dual Coordinates
Available from version 5.3
The dual coordinates panel displays your current position in two coordinate systems at once, so you can read both formats at a glance. It also shows your GPS signal accuracy.
In this example the left side shows Geo DM (degrees and decimal minutes) with latitude and longitude, while the right side shows MGRS with easting, northing, and zone. The GPS accuracy is displayed at the bottom left (±5 m in this case).
To navigate between these bottom panels you can just swipe on them left or right (or up/down when in landscape orientation)
Opening the Options Menu
Tap the three-dot menu button on the dual coordinates panel to open the options menu.

Changing Coordinate Types
Tap one of the coordinate type buttons (e.g. Geo Degrees Minutes (Geo DM) or MGRS) to open the type picker.
