What do you use to convert yds to nm?

chazsi · 01-30-18, 10:18 AM

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.

I use this web converter to get a solution. https://www.calculateme.com/Length/Y...ticalMiles.htm

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

For all your calculating needs.

Exactly. 2000 yards is close enough enough for navy work

Good hunting 👍

2025.37 yards is equal to 0.99999909719 nautical miles. That mans that 2000 yds. is 98.7% of a nmi. I'd say that's "good enough for government work".
