not that. the one displayed in the window. the google earth api. when i put my mouse into one location, it displays the longitude and latitude in Degrees Minutes Seconds latitude and not in decimal. I was wondering if it can be changed or not.

I don't see any reason why not. I am pretty sure the google earth api supports it. 

Of course, you will either need to change it yourself (http://code.google.com/p/happykillmore-gcs/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk) or convince Paul Mather or someone else to do so for you. I don't use it (only because I don't like managing software packages on windows) so I don't know if there is already a setting somewhere... but I would imagine if it was a feature request someone addressed, they would add it as a preference somewhere.
