unit value of distance, totalDistance and speed in positions table

Primtek7 years ago

hello,
just want to make sure..

for positions table:
is the unit value of distance and totalDistance attributes are in meter?
what about for speed? is it also in meter? ..

Distance is in meters. How do you measure speed in meters?

I am confusing about the speed in positions table..
I set speed km/h in server's attribute

I see the speed's value is 18.0599994659424
and it does not make sense .. I drive approx 70km/h
so I thought the speed's value in positions table is also in meters

so .. if I use speed meter/second to speed km/h conversion would be:
speed km/h = speed x (18/5)

72 = 18.0599994659424 x (18/5)

hmm.. it's make sense to me ..

what do you think .. ? .. am I correct? .. or CMIIW

many thanks

It's in knots. I would recommend to search forum before asking questions because this question has been asked more than once before.
