Centigon (cgon)
Centigon (cgon) :
A unit of angle measure equal to 0.01 gon, 0.01 grad, or 0.0001 right angle; this is equivalent to 0.009o, 0.54 arcminute, or exactly 32.4 arcseconds. The centigon is useful in navigation (potentially, at least) because 1 centigon of latitude represents approximately 1 kilometer on the earth's surface, in the same way that 1 nautical mile represents approximately 1 minute of latitude in traditional navigation
