Fun with Nautical Miles

Hi there

Our sales dept are looking for an online resource to help in finding out semi-accurate distance readings in nautical miles to assess whether our aircraft can reach particular destinations..

Does anybody know of one we can use? It's more to help the sales people quantify journeys, cuz ops can find our info in JetPlanner.

I agree with Icarus but another option is MS Encarta Reference>Geography>World Atlas and use the Distance Measurement tool.

This will give you answers in km or sm but not nm (although the conversion is obviously very straight forward. A bonus is that you can get distances other than Great Circle by having straight line segments.
