If you type in “convert 2 miles to kilometers” in google it will do it. In fact you can do it for every unit imaginable. I’ve tried to stump it but have yet to be succesful. It even does furlongs to hands!

For an “as the crow flies” distance, you can go to [How Far Is It](http://www.indo.com/distance/). For some odd reason, Guadalajara is not in their database. However, entering lat./long. will work, too, and you can find out that information from [multimap.com](http://www.multimap.com). Once the coordinates are entered, the answer will be given in both miles and kilometers (285 miles/459 km – might as well give you the answer since I’m doing all this work already anyway).
In general, [Google Calculator](http://www.google.com/help/features.html#calculator) is quite handy for all sorts of conversions.
However, if you’re trying to find the road distance, then I have nothing for you.

[It can’t do chains per century to fathoms per fortnight](http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial_s&q=6+chains+per+century+in+fathoms+per+fortnight&btnG=Search&meta=). (Chains is an archaic land surveying unit.)

Wow, I had no idea. It even works from the toolbar! Neat-o! Keen!
For the record, “convert beer belly to muscle” doesn’t work.

It doesn’t have chains, and it also lacks a few nonstandardized units such as ells. But it does have [Smoots](http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=1+smoot+in+inches&btnG=Google+Search).
