feature request : Nautical Miles

gregsyoung opened this issue · comments

have installed and running your app, works great! love it.. thanks

i operate an AIS fixed station, and contribute to a number of the online AIS services.

the web GUI allows selection of units “imperial” (mph) or “metric” (kmph)

Is it possible to please add a “nautical” selection,
and hence speed would display in knots and distances in nautical miles.

this makes more sense when using it for AIS display
(i realise thisndoesnt impact the AIS data fed to the cloud based services,
but when i view my station performance on AIS catcher locally, its useful to compare with
the online services, which all have kts/nmile)

Hello, there was a third option Default (next to Imperial and Metric) which uses kts and nmi as units. It is not very meaningful name so I changed it to "nautical":

Does that help?

ah ok, thanks for that i will go check the installation

all working as you describe. thanks
