About Meter and Nautical Mile

The meter is the SI base unit of length, defined since 1983 as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. Every other length unit on this site is defined in terms of it. The nautical mile is defined as exactly 1,852 meters, originally one minute of latitude along a meridian. Marine and air navigation use it because it maps directly onto chart coordinates. One Meter equals 0.0005399568035 Nautical Miles (1 m = 0.0005399568035 nmi). Meter is used in architectural drawings and building codes outside the US and in athletics track and field events. Nautical Mile is used in marine navigation and charts.

Precision and Rounding:Length factors between metric and imperial units are exact by definition (1 ft = 0.3048 m since 1959), so any rounding error comes from display precision, not the factor. Two or three decimal places suit carpentry and DIY work; machining and surveying often require four or more.

Conversion factors per NIST Special Publication 811 and the BIPM SI Brochure (9th edition) (reference).
