Convert Foreign Measurements


When you travel in other countries, their different measurements of distances, quantities, and currency can be confusing. You can download free widgets that convert all types of units used in up to sixty countries around the world, including currency converters that automatically update the currency exchange rates daily.

If you don't have the right widget installed, but you do have an Internet connection, you can use Google's built in calculator/converter. In the Search field of Google.com, type something like "convert 86 kilometers to miles." Click the "Google Search" button below the search field. The top of the results page (below) shows the calculation.

To convert currency in Google, type something like "convert 4,000 British pounds to US dollars." It's quite amazing.

Search the Internet for "currency converter" to find other free converters online, such as XE.com.ucc and X-Rates.com/calculator.html. Search the web for "unit converter" to find free online tools that convert all types of units and measurements, such as DigitalDutch.com/unitconverter.
