That second example was just to show that 3:15 apply to metric->knots but not to imperial...

(I guess I just didn't understand you. :p )

[edit : Ahhh!! I do understand now. Well all distance measurements are in metres and kilometres when using the metric system in game, but the speed are still in knots. There...
