What is a decimeter used for?

A decimeter is used for measuring moderate object dimensions and volume relations, convenient for sizes between centimetres and metres.

Why does the length of a league vary?

Leagues differ because they were historically defined differently depending on region and era, including both land and nautical versions.

Can I use this tool for modern navigation?

No, since leagues are non-SI and variable units mainly used in historical contexts, this tool is better suited for research and educational purposes.
