One nautical mile equals exactly 1.852 kilometers. Nautical miles are used in marine and aviation navigation because one nautical mile corresponds to one minute of latitude — making chart reading and navigation calculations straightforward.
In watersports, nautical miles matter for sailing distances, offshore crossings, and maritime regulations (e.g., how far offshore you need to be to avoid shipping lanes). When Watersports Tracker shows you've covered 15 km in a session, that's about 8.1 nautical miles.
Longer sailing voyages and yacht deliveries are always measured in nautical miles.
Watersports Tracker records your speed, distance, route, and more — for 24+ sports.
