Well, nautical miles are the standard unit in the context of aviation, so I don't think it's all that bad. "mi" refers to a different unit.

- gibibit 1y agoTrue, "nm" initially seemed to be nautical miles, but then this square meters thing appeared. The point is that "m" should be meters, but "mi" would be a more customary abbreviation for miles in the U.S.
