Or, I can just enter a number, press a button signifying the 'direction' of the conversion & then press the hect/acres button...

No, but
it only requires a bit of work with a calculator...
5280 feet in a mile * 12 in *
2.54 cm = 160934.4
divide by 100 to get
meters = 1609.344
squared for a square mile
= ~2.58999e6
divided by 640 acres = ~4046
m^2
divided by 100 = ~40.46 hectares to the
acre.
