A knot is a speed of 1 nautical mile per hour. A nautical mile has been defined in slightly varying ways over time. It is based on the distance traveled in moving 1 minute of arc along any meridian. Since the Earth is not a perfect sphere, the exact distance changes from place to place.
As linear projection is nearly impossible in this situation, you will have to learn that distance will need to be measured in minutes of latitude. Figure out how many knots you are traveling, or plan on traveling. The equation to convert knots to miles per hour is: 1 Knot = 1.15077945 mph (1.85200000 km/h). Take your number of knots and multiply it by 1.15. This will give you how fast you are moving in miles per hour.
