About these units
Nautical Mile (nmi)
The nautical mile is a unit designed specifically for navigation. Its definition—exactly 1,852 meters—originated from the idea that one nautical mile equals one minute of arc along Earth's meridian. This geometric relationship makes nautical miles incredibly convenient for charting and navigation because latitude coordinates are given in degrees, minutes, and seconds. Aviation and maritime industries use nautical miles exclusively for distance, and knots (nautical miles per hour) for speed. Because Earth's shape and size are fundamental to navigational calculations, using nautical miles avoids the complexities that would arise if statute miles or kilometers were used instead. The unit remains globally standardized and universally understood in professional navigation.
Inch (US Survey) (in (US))
The US Survey Inch is derived from the US survey foot, making it exactly 1/12 of the US survey foot (~2.540006 cm). It is used in precise surveying applications where small differences can accumulate over large distances. Historically, it ensured consistency in cadastral maps, railroad engineering, and construction projects, especially when reconciling legacy measurements with modern geodetic data. Though seldom used outside surveying, the US survey inch highlights the need for consistency and precision in civil engineering and mapping applications.
