Wondering here, are there any mods that adds navigation plotting tools (marked ruler/protractor/compass) with nautical miles markings and fractions of Nm? It would be useful when plotting intercept courses without having to convert between Nm and km.

Example:
A convoy is reported 60 km away doing 8 kts and the position and course shows an interception is doable, and you want to figure out the best intercept course. Problem is the plotting tools are all in meters and km while speed is in Nm/hour. No biggie with a calculator at hand but if you want to do it without any calculator, it becomes a bit more involving, converting from Nm to km and back.

With plotting tools showing distances in Nm, this would make it a lot easier to do on the fly using only in-game tools.

So back to the original question: Are there any such mods or would it be something for capable modders to consider?
