Mouse Position Tool¶

The Mouse Position tool reports the current real-world coordinates of the user’s mouse pointer when hovering over the map.

In the example below, coordinates are shown in latitude longitude as well as a British National Grid six figure grid reference of the current 100m square.

Default Control¶

When enabled, displays the mouse position in decimal degrees (latitude longitude / EPSG:4326).

Projection¶

When specified, also displays the mouse position in the specified projection (specified using EPSG code). Please note that when EPSG:27700 (British National Grid) is specified, only the six figure grid reference will be displayed rather than full British National Grid coordinates.
