Hi,

In the current code,

src/lib/marble/CurrentLocationWidget.cpp:293
src/lib/marble/MarbleWidget.cpp:1245
src/plugins/render/elevationprofilefloatitem/ElevationProfilePlotAxis.cpp:161
src/plugins/render/gpsinfo/GpsInfo.cpp:145
src/plugins/render/mapscale/MapScaleFloatItem.cpp:275

an abbreviation "nm" is used for nautical miles. Wikipedia [1] says that  
common symbol is M, NM or nmi.

Does it make sense to change the symbol to M with the respective comment?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Best regards,
Yuri
