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.
Nautical League (UK) (nl (UK))
This older British unit corresponds to 3 UK nautical miles, or 18,240 feet (about 5,563.6 meters), slightly longer than the international version. Before international standardization, distances in British naval operations were often recorded using UK nautical leagues, especially in long-range maritime planning. Like other historical British units, the UK nautical league reflects the era when each naval power maintained its own measurement standards. While no longer used for navigation, it appears in historic ship logs, naval battles, and exploration records—especially for events predating the 20th century. For historians, the distinction between the UK league and the international one is critical to accurate interpretation of maritime distances.
