What is a hectometer?

A hectometer (hm) is an SI unit of length equal to 100 meters, used for intermediate distance measurements and in land planning.

What does a nautical league (int.) represent?

An international nautical league equals 3 international nautical miles or 5,556 meters and was historically used to express distances at sea.

Why convert hectometers to nautical leagues?

This conversion is useful when interpreting historical maritime documents, nautical charts, or marine boundary descriptions involving nautical leagues.
