    Although I've set 'imperial units' as my navigation preference in my profile, during navigation, distances to turnings / waypoints etc still display in metres.
    Vehicle speed, speed limits and voice prompts do respect the imperial preference and display correctly.

    Hi @Matt-Wetherill-0 My apologies, I should have mentioned that in my earlier reply. At the moment, metres are being shown instead of yards. This is something that will be addressed in a future update. Longer distances are shown in miles.

    Always willing to help if I can.

      We currently do convert kilometers to miles but show meters and not yards. Something for a future update ๐Ÿ™‚

      In all honesty, I thought the UK used meters and yards was more of a US thing ๐Ÿ˜‰

              @Nick-Carthew We actually have no idea what 400 yards means any more than 366m. Weโ€™re just clueless about anything less than miles. No hope

                  @Corjan-Meijerink to be honest, weโ€™re completely mixed up - SI units for measurements, weight, etc but miles for road distances and gallons for road fuel (although different gallons to the Americans).
                  Iโ€™m actually completely comfortable with miles and metres for road distances (I think in meters for everything less than a mile ๐Ÿ™‚ ). Sadly most people would probably think that was a bit strange in a nav app! ๐Ÿ˜€)

                    @Matt-Wetherill-0 Thanks for your comment! Regardless of the definitive choice, we can agree that voice instructions and shown units should be aligned! ๐Ÿ™‚

                    The MRA website doesn't use yards too ๐Ÿ˜‰ So getting that aligned too will be quite complicated. Not sure what the eventual implementation will be but this will get an update!

                      In my days as a carpenter, I would often mix the two measuring systems - 6 foot and 23mm ๐Ÿ˜Š I'm also happy with miles and metres but I suppose, for consistency it should all be imperial.
                      Thanks for your input.
