What is nautical league int

There isn't a widely accepted international standard for a "nautical league." The nautical mile (nmi) is the more common and internationally recognized unit of measurement for distances at sea. A nautical mile is approximately equal to one minute of latitude along a meridian, and it is used worldwide for maritime and aviation navigation.

In some regions, historical or localized variations of the league may have been used in the past, but these are not part of the modern international system of measurement. It's important to note that such variations can differ by country and even within different historical periods.

For precise and internationally recognized measurements in maritime and aviation contexts, the nautical mile is the preferred unit of distance. One nautical mile is equal to approximately 1.852 kilometers or 1.15078 statute miles (land miles).

What is inch (US survey)

In the United States surveying system, an "inch" is a unit of length, but it is not significantly different from the standard inch used in everyday measurements. An inch in U.S. surveying is equal to 1/12th of a foot, just like the standard inch. This means that one U.S. survey inch is approximately equal to 0.0833333 feet or about 2.54 centimeters.

The primary distinction in U.S. surveying is the use of the survey foot, which is defined as exactly 12 survey inches. This slight difference in the definition of the foot and inch in U.S. surveying is used for precise land measurements and surveying work, especially when dealing with large areas of land. However, for most everyday purposes, the standard inch and foot are used in the United States and other countries that employ the imperial system.
