=== 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.
