Limit the available coordinate systems by geographic area
Choosing Always will open a window before each coordinate system selection that allows you to limit the coordinate systems by a point or area of your choice.
Choosing Never will take you to the Select Coordinate System from Datasource window with all available coordinate systems available (unless otherwise filtered)
Choosing Ask will prompt you before each coordinate system selection if you would like to limit the coordinate systems by area, or if you would like to select from all available coordinate systems.
Clicking the Customize Unit Display Settings... button will open the Coordinate Display Settings window, which allows you to set the format of your coordinate data for all windows of the Geographic Calculator.
