Frequently Asked Questions
Why do flights fly in curves instead of straight lines on a map?
Because the Earth is a sphere, the shortest geometric path between two coordinates is a Great-Circle arc, which appears curved on 2D Mercator projections.
What is a Nautical Mile (NM)?
One nautical mile equals exactly 1,852 meters (1.1508 statute miles), corresponding to one minute of latitude on Earth's meridian.
