Karel_x, I believe your belief is wrong, and it was never the controller's intention to provide distance readings with the accuracy of less than a couple of hundred of meters, but only to confirm the generally correct progress of the approach. Hence he said the airplane was approaching the LOM before it had passed the LOM and not after that. I don't see any problem whatsoever in his rounding the distance reading to the nearest km point with a fudge factor of only about 5%.
