New Coordinate System?

I noticed a different type of coordinates come up today after using a sextant both at sea and on dry land. I know I haven't been playing much at all for quite a while now, but I don't remember reading anything about this. Does anyone have any information about this new coordinate system? I don't use any third party programs, even UO Assist, so this is information that is coming from the UO program itself. I haven't had a chance to try out the new atlases either, so I'm wondering if this has something to do with those....??

Thanks.

This was introduced a while back as part of Time of Legends. We originally intended to keep it as an internal shard tool, but given its usefulness we left it in. That is the XYZ equivalent to the latitude longitude coordinate. We didn't want to break immersion too much so it's a system message instead of a bark. Anytime you've got to send in bug reports, communicate with Mesanna on locations, or anything like that we much prefer the XYZ coordinate.
