      What would be better is if it Auto switches depending on where you are like tomtom.

        @Michael-Rhys I personally do not want it to change, I live in the UK and ride a lot in Europe but I like to keep it in MPH and I think the app converts to the correct speed limit on the road

          @Michael-Rhys, I prefer distance being shown in units I am familiar with, and not in units that are locally known but I cannot relate to.

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

            Default: auto-switch to match the country/region
            Override: a setting to force it to your preferred value

            Then the majority of users will be happy.

            And the override setting is for people who can't swiftly calculate 5/8ths of something, me included.

              @Con-Hennekens In tomtom, there is a switch in settings automatically switch to local units. So you can disable it if you don't like it. It would be easy for MRA to do the same.

                @Michael-Rhys, I really doubt that switching to local units should be the default for two reasons. First, I think most people prefer their own units above local units. Second, the action to change a setting should be with those who want to change something.

                But whatever. Chances for me to travel to the UK are slim ever since Brexit (luckily I was in London just before that), and travelling to other countries with non-metric units I can't afford ๐Ÿ˜‰

                  @Con-Hennekens I am the other way. The moment I get on the ferry, I change the bikes units to the local units. I look at the bikes display to see what speed I am doing and I can compare that to the road signs to see whether I am speeding or not. It then gets confusing if your bike is showing kph and the distance to next turning and the speed on the sat nav show different units. So have a switch that allows local changing, whether default is on or off is irrelevant, allow users to have it automatically switch if desired. It could simply be Switch units automatically (on) no further action. Off, allow a box to select the units.

                      I change my settings from miles to kilometres when Iโ€™m in Europe. But I would enjoy an easier way to change rather than going to my account page.

                                    Many moons ago my Aunt informed me that I was eligible for an Irish Passport.
                                    Maybe its time to look into that.
                                    Thanks for the reminder @Vince-Hyde.

                                      In my younger years I could easily get into double figures of the black stuff.
                                      These days my body can't handle the hanger-overs.
                                      A glass of Baileys with lots of ice is all I can handle now. ๐Ÿคก

                                          Point is we need to buy a passport since brexit, and our European ID Card is not enough anymore. That's a lot of extra cost if you want to take your family to the UK

                                          You just described why our yearly 3-day visit to IPMS Telford hasn't happened the last few years. We simply can't get a group together anymore ๐Ÿ˜ž

                                          I agree, but as long as we all can laugh a bit about small anecdotes I don't consider that politics ๐Ÿ˜‰
