@maritimemaster: A mile at sea is actually longer than a mile on land, and there is a beautiful reason why. A nautical mile is one minute of latitude, fixed at 1852 metres, and you read it straight off the side scale of your chart, never the top. Save this before your next passage and follow for more chartwork. #nauticalmile #navigation #sailing #chartwork #maritime
1760 yards in a land mile and 2000 yards in a nautical mile. So 1 cable should = 200 yards, but in fact = 202.7 yards, but there is 10 cables in a nautical mile. That don’t really compute.

So one of them is wrong.... land miles or sea miles. They both can't exist surely.

Well, there are only very few countries still using miles on land. The world uses the metric system. 🤷🏼♂️

They are two different units of measurement. That’s like saying a foot is shorter than a meter.

If you are talking about miles then use Feet not meters in your demonstration
