If you mean the values seen in the top left corner of the map editor, these show the relative coordinates of visible, local map (from 0, 0, Z-level to 131, 131, Z-level).

If you want the absolute coordinates, you’re probably better off with `Debug Menu` → `[i]nfo...` → `Check [g]ame state` (third or forth screen).

If you need help with reading the coordinates of the different map types (overmap, local, etc.), there is a really, really [lenghty explanation](https://discourse.cataclysmdda.org/t/how-do-coordinates-in-a-save-relate-to-om-coordinates/24594/9) I’ve come up with.
