FAQ

What is a nautical mile?

A nautical mile is a unit of measurement used in air and marine navigation. It is based on the circumference of the Earth and is equal to one minute of latitude.

Is a nautical mile the same as a regular mile?

No. A nautical mile is approximately 1.15 statute (regular) miles.

When to use nmi → km

Pilots and mariners plan in nautical miles (nmi) because 1 nmi corresponds to 1 minute of latitude and integrates cleanly with charts. Convert to kilometers for public reports, science communication, or local overland comparisons.

Operational tips

  • Speed is commonly in knots (nmi/hour). For km/h, multiply knots by 1.852.
  • For ETA, convert distance and keep speed unit consistent to avoid errors.
  • Document the chart datum and route segments that include currents or wind drift.
