Latest Updates, Features, and Changes

• Your Favorites now accessible from the menu

• We've made accessing your favorite conversions even easier. Just mouse over the 'Your Favorites' in the menu and your favorite conversion will be displayed and are selectable. They will display in the same order as you last saved them on the Your favores page.



• Direct conversion formulas added

• We've add direct conversion formulas, where applicable. This means that if the Algebraic Steps / Dimensional Analysis Formula is not a direct, single step conversion, then we will display the direct conversion below it.



• We've been working to improve our search tool

• We've been monitoring and tweaking our search tool to help you find the conversions you are looking for. From catching common spelling mistakes to variations in abbreviations we think the search tool will be more effective at helping you find what you are looking for.
  
  Some examples of search terms variations you can use:


• kilometers to miles
• km to miles
• km to mi
• us dollar to japanese yen
• usd to jpy
• centimeters to feet
• cm to ft
• cm to feet
• kilos to pounds
• lb to kg
• kg to lbs



• Fuel Economy

• We've add fuel economy conversions! We have 13 common fuel economy units like mpg and liters/100 kilometer. This gives the site over 4000 metric conversions! We've also made sure to include the algebraic steps, which was a fairly difficult task for this category.



• Cumulate GPA calculation added

• We've added the ability to calculate your total GPA by allowing you to input your previous cumulative GPA. If you don't feel like entering all your previous courses, you can just add your previous semesters cumulative credits and GPA and we will calculate your overall credits and GPA.



• GPA converter table added

• We've added a GPA converter table to our GPA Calculator. If your school doesn't use a 4.0 scale, you can use the table as a guide to convert your grades if given in percentages to a letter grade to use in our GPA Calculator.



• Search results will find abbreviations

• Now instead of typing 'feet to meters', you can type 'ft to m'. It works for our currency converter also, type 'USD' to pull up all US Dollar converions or 'INR' for 'Indian Rupees'. Of course the old inputs still work too.



• GPA Calculator

• Not sure how to calculate GPA? We've added a great GPA Calculator to our list of tools. Unlike most GPA calculators, you can save your data, organize them through dragging/dropping and delete buttons. Calculations are also done as you type, making results instanteous.



• Swap your units

• We've added swap functionality to all our conversions. This makes it easy and updates the algebraic steps for metric conversions to go from, for example, feet to meters to meters to feet. Swap back and forth as often as you like. The values you enter stay the same, so it is very convenient.



• Currency Converter!

Whether you want to convert your money to US Dollars, Euros, UK Pounds, etc. we have 4032 currency conversion combinations available to you, with the most common viewable in our 'Common Currency units' tab where you will be able to quickly and easily see the most common currency conversions, all updated as you type.
