I'm sure I'd also want to have MPH displayed if I were in the States, but the conversion of 1.609x (miles to km) is an easy "1.5x + a bit" calculation done in your head. Unless you're breaking the land speed record, this rough calculation lands you very close to the exact conversion since you're working with small numbers.

Thanks for the input.

Erm, you were the one who asked, so I made the obvious assumption that you need the GPS to function as your speedometer. A car isn't the only kind of vehicle, and many kinds don't have speedometers: bicycle, boat, kayak, etc..
So, thanks for the eye-rolling emoticon.

If the imperial setting doesn't change it to mph from km/h it sounds like a bug, and should be reported.

It's just to open a bug in bugzilla, no?

I've noticed it too. It seems to be a bug. This was the n810 firmware on an N800.

While I have no problems with the metric system per se, I am having an issue with Wayfinder displaying my speed in km/h rather than mph, regardless of whether I set it to metric or imperial measurements.
Has anyone else had this problem? I did a search but came up with zilch.
N800 OS2008b.
Thanks in advance.
