Distance measurements

Indy676 · 01-26-09, 11:04 AM

I use the metric system in SHIV, and I cant understand, like in SHIII, why there is a kilometer and meter measurement on the chart in SH

. In the german navy we use nautical miles and yards to measure distances and ranges.
Is it possible to change the measurement system on the chart to yard and nautical miles and have the dial of the depthmeter and the depthorders in meter anyway?:hmm:
Would be great to change this, because the computation from km to kn is not difficult, but unenoiying.
Can someone help?

Hi Indy,

Gosh, I know exactly what you mean. However, I believe you can change to Imperial Measurement in the OPTIONS section.

Cheerio,

Yes, this I know. But then the Depthgauge is in ft and the depthorder are also in ft and I want to have them in Meter. Only on the navigationchart it should be in yards and nautical miles.
