I've just started a 14 day trip through Canada and the USA. When crossing over from Canada to US or from the US to Canada, Navigation next does not automatically switch from Metric to Imperial or the other way around. I think it should do this automatically. If this is not possible then please add a switch in the navigation settings menu so that the change can be made easily.

You can also change this setting through the app: Click on the menu in the top left corner > Account in the top right corner > Manage Account > Scroll down to Unit and choose the correct value from the table > Scroll down and click on Save Changes.

For now this is not possible but it's a feature request that's on our backlog

Will try it again when we go back into the US. I nice navigation menu item like the voice prompts on/off functionality would be nice. Cheers.

Even Imperial is incorrect in the USA.
The app still uses yards, not feet. It's extremely confusing.
