1615meter

1615meter is a nonstandard notation that represents a distance of 1,615 meters. It is not an officially recognized unit in the International System of Units, but rather a compact string form in which the numeral and the unit symbol are written together without a space. This style can appear in data records, software outputs, or mapping and geospatial files where spaces are stripped or avoided.

In practice, 1615meter corresponds to 1.615 kilometers or about 1.004 miles. Its use is primarily practical: as a compact field value in databases, logs, or programmatic data exchange. Because it is not a formal unit, its interpretation relies on the surrounding context to confirm that the value indeed denotes a length rather than an identifier or code.

Potential issues with the notation include ambiguity for human readers and parsing challenges for software not prepared to handle concatenated number-unit strings. In published text or standard documentation, the more conventional forms are preferred, such as 1615 m or 1.615 km, to improve readability and reduce misinterpretation.
