At first, you need to open the sector map. If you use a commando, e.g. "Fly to...", the sector map will open automatically if necessary. Otherwise press [.] to open the map manually.
It is not possible to enter coordinates directly. Instead you have to move the cursor on the sector map with the NumBlock keys [4] [6] [2] [8]. The current coordinates are located at the bottom right corner. From top to down there are X | Y | Z -coordinates, which are given in kilometers.
After you have opend the map, you will see the coordinate system of the map as top view. With [4] & [6] you can move the cursor on the X-axis of the coordinate system. With [4] into the negative direction, with [6] into the positive direction of the system.
With [2] & [8] you can move the cursor on the Z-axis of the coordinate system. With [2] into negative direction and with [8] into positive direction of the system.
To be able to adjust coordinates on the Y-axis you have to switch the view of the map. Therefore press [Ins]. Now you have the map as lateral view. With [2] & [8] you can move the curser on the Y-axis of the map. With [2] into the negative, with [8] into the positive direction of the axis.
With [4] & [6] you can move the curser on the X-axis.
By default, the zoom is set at 100%. By pressing [Home] you can minimize the zoom level to 50% to see a bigger excerpt of the sector. You can also scale the zoom level by pressing [End] to up to 25600%. By doing this you will just see a extremely small excerpt of the sector, but you can adjust coordinates or place objects hyper-accurate.
