Hi Tim, MapInfo can do this without MapBasic. If you under 'Preferences' choose 'Map Window' you can choose to show coordinates in 3 different ways of which one is Degree, minutes, seconds.

I simply want to capture the continuously updated map cursor movements in lat/lon degrees.decimal, convert them to degrees:minutes.decimal minutes and display them on the status bar. Is there a map basic function that will allow this? Thanks for any assistance.
