+BWJM Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) I am in Canada. My Geocaching app is set to use metric. My Geocaching preferences are set to use metric. The Adventure Labs app uses imperial. There appears to be no configurable setting in the app to change this. How do I make the Adventure Lab app use metric??? EDIT: I was able to switch back to metric by changing my phone's language from "English (United States)" to "English (Canada)". It seems to me to be an absurd way to determine which units to use. Please provide a simple toggle option in the app: Metric or Imperial. Edited May 12, 2020 by BWJM Updated with resolution, adding feature request. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I've found over the years, selecting "English (Canada)" in various software just leads to grief, with sloppily-written US-based software that isn't tested properly for international. I rarely see any benefit from selecting my own dialect (eh!), just headaches. So, default "English (US)" by conscious choice it is - nationalism be [darned] - but I still like metric. So yeah, that don't work. Edited May 12, 2020 by Viajero Perdido 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm in the United States. Don't ask how that option was set. Both were on the list . Seems like this app is the only app on that phone that it affected. All is good now. Happy Caching.

+yxza Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) I've tried to switch keyboard/language to Swedish but to no avail. The app in android still uses miles in compass. irritating. Edited May 13, 2020 by yxza 1 Quote Link to comment
