In addition to customised coordinate systems and projections, IMSMA<sup>NG</sup> supports the use of localised number formats for coordinate entry, for example 73.233 or 73,233. IMSMA<sup>NG</sup> validates all numeric coordinate data based on the client’s locale settings so users running in a locale that uses a comma as a decimal separator can enter 72,333 while users running in a locale where a period is the decimal separator can enter 72.233.
 
{{note|
* Coordinate systems added via the Coordinate System manager are available to all users connecting to the IMSMA<sup>NG</sup> server. If customised .PRJ files are used, information managers must copy these files to each client to ensure the accurate display of coordinates in the new system.
* Limiting the available coordinate systems within IMSMA<sup>NG</sup>, for example, one or two UTM zones and a national system, simplifies coordinate data entry and visualisation}}
