+mty55 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 We were on our first Adventure Lab cache the other night. My caching partner and I both have Google Pixel II phones. We opened the phones to the app and headed off to stage 1. She asked how come my phone is reading distance in kilometers. Mine was reading correct in Miles. I search high and low could not find any setting to change this. I checked all the setting I could find on her phone and nothing seemed out of place. The Geocache.com App, Google Maps both read in Miles to destination. Quote Link to comment
+baer2006 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Did you check the preferences in the GC account? https://www.geocaching.com/account/settings/preferences There is a setting where you can select between metric and imperial units. Quote Link to comment

+Wacka Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) This Adventure Cache is in NY state and miles is correct. Km like Canadian money is worth approximately 60 % of American $ and miles. Edited April 27, 2020 by Wacka 1 Quote Link to comment

The setting is correct on Geocache.com website. The geocache App read miles. All the other apps on the phone read correct except the Adventure lab. Quote Link to comment
