GSView 6 is a ground up redesign/rewrite, and no longer uses Ghostscript 
to display file contents. It uses mupdf for display, and only uses 
Ghostscript for various format conversions - for example, if you open a 
Postscript file (which mupdf doesn't support) it uses Ghostscript to 
convert to PDF, then displays the PDF.

Also, GSView 6 doesn't rely on a separate Ghostscript installation: 
Ghostscript is bundled in the GSView installer.

GSView 6 is not (and is not intended as) as GUI front end for Ghostscript.

GSView 6 is still a work in progress, so if you go to bugs.ghostscript.com 
and open a feature request to add the coordinate display, it will be 
considered.
