GWX speed conversion charts on navmap

19Herr_Rapp86 · 06-16-2012, 02:50 AM

I'm a little confused on the Knoten in Meter pro Minute table. Those numbers aren't adding up. Can anyone tell me if my math is off or if I'm missing something? For example if a ship is travelling .060 meters in one minute, they aren't going 2 knots as the chart shows

Hint: Read the fine print above the minute column.

( "x 1000 m pro minute")

So what looks like 0.06 meters is actually 60 meters after that multiplication.

But, 2 knots is 3704 meters per hour. Per minute it should be 61.7 meters. Whoever made those tables made some minor mistakes. Still useable, but with a grain of salt.

Personally, I like the nomograph or the KM Angriffscheibe.

Ah! Pisces... You're a savior! I completely missed that. I'm using Hsie's GuI with the attack wheel and I use those conversion charts in conjunction with the attack wheel to flank convoys. Thank you for pointing that out, good sir!
