@Andy-W No bug! The answer is as logical as it is simple: both the website (Routeplanner) and the app have a settings menu. According to the images you attached, you have the distance unit set to metric in the app and to imperial (GB or US) in the Routeplanner.

No. The settings are the same in both and I would expect them to be as it is a single account for MRA.

Andy@Andy-W Okay, didn't expect that. I can only reproduce this when settings are different... or am I overlooking something?

@Rob-Verhoeff altitudes within the app are always displayed in meters it seems

@Corjan-Meijerink Yes, I see it now. Definitely not something I would have noticed like that. I had only changed the notation in the planner and then saw that the app was showing meters. But apparently, it is a bug.
@Andy-W sorry about the misunderstanding

For me it’s just not always understanding when imperial uses what unit
That’s why I asked @nick-carthew on the GB view. If the consensus is indeed that US imperial always want feet for altitude, sure thing
-
I would say it's about time they get used to metric, like we all are used to English. Do something in return!
I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

@Con-Hennekens sorry we are not adopting the kilometer, unless of course europe is prepared to start driving on the left/correct side of the road
if it is a binary choice, imperial or metric, then IMO the imperial choice should result in the altitude being in feet
it makes no sense to choose imperial & then find the result is in metersthe alternative is to make it a non-binary choice by allowing the units for speed, distance & altitude to be chosen independently but this probably will be at the expense of complicating the UI & backend code

@Corjan-Meijerink The UK use whatever measurements suit us best
In the UK feet and inches are used for height measurements and yards and miles are used for distance.
The US use feet and inches for height and feet and miles for distance.

So changing altitude readings to feet it is then

Yes please.

It would be best if the whole world would embrace the Metric system, much easier in every way. Especially for programmers

@ErikMatthezing, they don't know it yet, but they will in the end
You see that most new technical fields metric is the norm already in the US also.

All you foreigners will be dreaming in English and driving on the correct side of the road before we drop our imperial system. It’s what makes us unique.
12 inches =0.305 metres or 1 foot
36 inches =0.914 metres or 1 yard
1760 yards =1,609.344 metres or 1 mileIt’s simple, no need for decimal points
Always willing to help if I can.

There are a few more essential elements to the imperial system that everyone should understand
