RW>If you are using old british charts... a NM is 6080 ft
RW>If you are using American charts prior to July 1 1959, a NM is 6080.2 ft
RW>If you are using an International chart, a NM is 6076.115 ft...
        Yes - they all have "slightly" different values due to the
        "mathematical" calculations to change imperial measure to metric
        and back again....
                        ... fortunately for people like me (who can add
                        2+2 three times and get five different answers,
                        all that calculation stuff is removed simply by
                        creating that simple unit called a "nautical
                        mile"!
