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.
