Can anyone tell me how to determine latitude and longitude for given points in the ME. Thanks in advance.

If I remember correctly the values displayed in the status bar (long,lat) are in meters. A good aproximation is 1 degree = 120 km so for eg:

Long: 1217736.875 -> 1217736.875 / 120000 = 10.1478072916

Positive values are N and E.

Converting the decimal value to DMS results in 10° 8' 52.1052" E.
