Hi,
I have been told that all new equipment, chartplotters, speedometers and
the like will not have knots as a speed option.
Knots will be phased out and KPH will be the new standard for marine
equipment.

Has anybody heard of this?

If so where?

Some links please if available.



No way.

Simple as that.


I don't know about that. What about the Universal Transverse Mercator
System armies use?
