Live map showing routes in imperial units instead of metric

Post by LordGreyhound
Hi,

I have my account set to World - Metric but the live map shows me the distance between two locations in imperial units (miles). I've tried resetting the region and units but it hasn't worked.
Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Same here. I'm in the US and there's no way to make it display miles instead of kilometers on the Live Map or Map Editor.

Is it actually so hard to add metric units to livemap? And take saved data on chosen settings from dashboard? Why was metric system removed?

Yep, which is totally awkward, because UK uses miles :D

Why is "English UK" measured in kilometers???? Road distances and speed in the UK are measured in Miles!!!
