    I had another post regarding GPS stopped following the road after passing a shaping point.

    I mentioned my struggle to change metric (Kilometers) to Miles.
    It was my first day switching to Beta, and simply my Newbie experience going through the settings menu.

    I am going to move that part of my post into this new thread.
    As a new user experiencing the Beta App interface, my only complaint is the User Interface to access SETTINGS. I realize that the 3 dots opens a menu for common settings, such as skip waypoints. My issue as a new user in United States was changing Kilometers to Miles on the Navigation app.

    As a new user, I open a route in Navigation Next Beta
    I touch the 3 bars

    I actually searched for 5 minutes to find "settings" and eventually touched the icon (2)

    Then (3)

    I was not able to change Kilometers to Miles here - but discovered that setting on the main MRA website for my account.

    That setting may have changed when I recently purchased Gold because I thought I had selected "Miles" last week, but it was back to the default Metric setting.

    Maybe there could be a choice there for "more settings" in the 3 dot navigation screen that takes you to "Functional" on your profile.

      @Bob-Harvey, This has been mentioned multiple times by different users. There was a lively discussion about it, which showed it is more complex than foreseen. Some users want miles/yards, others want miles/meters but no kilometers. Then there is yards, that don't seem to be evenly lengthy between different countries? <sigh>Why can't we all just agree to go metric... </sigh> 😉 As far as I know the issue is being worked on.

      I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

      Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebar to the saddle.

        @Con-Hennekens I think @Bob-Harvey is referring to how many clicks it takes to switch from Imperial to metric.

          @Nick-Carthew said in Settings Menu - Metric, Miles, etc.:

          how many clicks it takes to switch from Imperial to metric.

          Right. It actually took me a long time to figure out how to change it. (Manage Account)

          I fully understand that Metric is better (but my country is stuck on Miles rather than Kilometers)

          Today I realized that after clicking on the 3 dots (. . . ) I was not scrolling down to see the other choices. But the setting I wanted wasn't there anyway, it is in the user account profile. That was the only place I could find to change the unit of measure.

            @Nick-Carthew, it was meant as an anecdote 😉 I think I read comment from Corjan that easier access to the option is being worked on.
