What do you use to convert yds to nm?
So when plotting distances with the dividers <5 nm is displayed in yds but past that it's displayed in nm.
What is everyone using to convert 19150 yds to nm in order to mark your map? MATH?! (shudder shudder) I'm using a converter on the web. Any better suggestions? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? |

Personally I just divide the number of yards by 2,000. It’s not exact, but neither is the game, so close enough for my tracking.

2000 yds. per nm works just fine in the game. Gets the job done, and you're not firing from 19,00 yds. anyway.
