change from metric using compass on phone

[+5inCalif4Geo]

I have a new Kyocera smart phone and when accessing distance to a cache using the compass it comes up in metric. I can't figure out how to convert the measurements to feet. Can anyone help?

One meter equals about three feet.

How easy is that?

As far as I can tell, Kyocera phones run the Android operating system. It might help if you can tell us which app you're using to navigate? The official Groundspeak app, or something else?

I'm using the Groundspeak app on my phone. When I go to Navigate to Cache and select Compass the Distance is in meters.

I don't have the Android version, so I probably can't help much, but the option to change the units in the iPhone version is in the app's settings. I would assume the option in the Android version is in a similar spot.

Open your geocaching page and hit more at the bottom.  The settings gear will come up. Click on thar and turn off the meter button.

Thank you, been wanting to change on the Adventure Lab app.  Just did it and it worked.
