About Millimeter and Nautical Mile

The millimeter is one thousandth of a meter. Engineering and manufacturing drawings in metric countries are dimensioned almost exclusively in millimeters to avoid decimal points. 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 Millimeter equals 5.399568e-7 Nautical Miles (1 mm = 5.399568e-7 nmi). Millimeter is used in engineering and CAD drawings and in manufacturing tolerances. 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).
