Please help me out with this conversion since it is needed for distance to

  2. Private health facility

@Just_me, maybe it’s more straightforward to use this conversation:

1 km = 0.621371 miles
1 mile= 1.60934 km

What would you say?

A good illustration of your suggestion will be highly appreciated.
The user should be able to submit either in km or miles and a conversion button should be able to convert from either km to miles or from miles to km
Thank you very much.
