    F5 speed in km/h not mph

    The speed reading in F5 is metric. I can't see how to change it. The Imperial Metric thing is a pain. Australia switched to metric quite some time ago. So some routes & models are either. Has it set itself to metric because of my location?

      OK I've read that section. In other words if I'm running US routes I have to change Windows settings to get Imperial.
      That seems to be something that needs looking at. It is only a minor irritation though,

      Thanks,

        Lance,

        The route should be telling OR to use imperial, unless the maker chose metric for some reason. Look at the lower left in the general options tab and set yourself to 'Imperial US' units.

          Lets get specific so we can see what's going on.

          What route are you running?

            Thanks. Route didn't matter. Found that setting and set it to route. Now OK.
            It would be in the user guide but it's a lot quicker to get help from people on the forum.

            Thanks again,

            Lance
