Well, the Nautical Mile is a rational unit, so seems likely to stay. All the charts I have used have had distances in nautical miles and depths/heights in metres. Nautical Miles correlate directly to latitude and longitude positions, so are probably here to stay. (a switch to decimal units of angular measure would probably mean that the km became the rational choice) -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
