Miles are international miles. Nautical miles are international nautical miles.
Distances personally calculated, using Charles Karney's Online rhumb line calculations using the RhumbSolve utility: "RhumbSolve is accurate to about 15 nanometers (for the WGS84 ellipsoid)" or 0.000015 of a millimetre/millimeter or 0.00000059 of an inch. In emails to me from Charles Karney: "The accuracy of 15 nanometers that I quote is for paths up to half-way round the earth." "The accuracy for the Airy" [1830] "ellipsoid will be (very nearly) the same as for the WGS84 ellipsoid because the parameters are roughly the same." On RhumbSolve online: "RhumbSolve performs rhumb line calculations". "The path with a constant heading between two points on the ellipsoid at (lat1, lon1) and (lat2, lon2) is called the rhumb line (or loxodrome)". "NOTE: the rhumb line is not the shortest path between two points; that is the geodesic and it is calculated by GeodSolve."
For distances due north-south, it does not matter whether RhumbSolve or GeodSolve is used, since even using RhumbSolve, distances due north-south are geodesic distances.
