Template:Miles to nm

This template uses unnamed parameters

This template converts miles (or miles per hour) to nautical miles (or knots - nautical miles per hour). The parameters include a rounding value to specify how many decimal places are to be used - default is rounded to the nearest unit. This means you can input some text with a distance in miles and have it display converted to nautical miles without doing the math yourself.

In order to output the values with reference to speed, the second parameter should be the word speed. Any other value, or a blank, will result in the output being displayed as distance.

For example, entering

Many kayakers are comfortable paddling at {{miles to nm|4|speed|1}}

results in

Many kayakers are comfortable paddling at 4 mph (3.5 kt)

Using the default for number of decimal places

The distance to the harbour is ({{miles to nm|8}}

results in

The distance to the harbour is (8 mi (7 nm)

To output in distance units and specify the number of digits after the decimal point, use either:

• {{km to nm|6|x|1}} - where x is any text or number
• {{km to nm|6||1}} - leave the second parameter empty

Copy the template text between the lines below (no need to edit, just mark and copy) and paste it into the edit page. Then fill in the parameters. If a parameter does not apply, you can delete the parameter and its associated pipe (|).

Copy below this line:

{{miles to nm|miles|speed or other|number of decimal digits}}

Copy above this line.
