Just noticed this today, even if all other units work as Imperial, the tracking ring min max distances even, the Altitude adjustments for the rings are in Meters only.
Could someone Verify this, please?

Hi, Lyndon. If I may ask, Is this regarding the Inner Height and Outer Height settings on FocusTrack? Thank you.

Yes, that is correct. All other measurements are in the correct units, but those two do not change from Metric meters.

Yup.. Just like our flight logs display metric even when units are set to Imperial.  Hard to believe that hasn't been corrected in all these years.  Seems it would be such a simple fix?

You should be able to toggle meters or imperial.  In USA, we use imperial.

Even when set to Imperial the flight logs still show metric units.  Bug has been around as long as I can remember.

Wjy dont they fix?  Seems ez to me.  Unfortunately, we never learned the metric system here.

Are you using RC2 or N2?  Maybe there's a difference depending which you're using?

That question has puzzled mankind for many years.  

One would think it would be a simple fix?  It took several years before they finally got the RTH altitude to show up in feet.  We are almost there.  So close to getting everything to show up in Imperial units...

Haha.
I plan on buying one soon but waiting for specials to come around

I haven't bought one, yet, since I'm sitting on the fence reading about the bugs still being encountered.  When is thos expected to be fixed??  It seems to be a no brainer, to me to het this resolved.

I'm in USA & don't care to figure out what my altitude is or distance away my drone is.  Unfortunately, I wasn't schooled on metric when I was growing up (well, in grammar school, they touched on it)

All I know is multiply 3.28 to meters to convert to feet.  But when flying, who wants to do this?

Fortunately, altitude and distance can be set to display with imperial units.

Funny thing, IOs shows whatever is chosen in the app. Why DJI can't fix the Android version is incomprehensible.

You can set Imperial in the Fly app. Altitude, distance and speed all show Imperial. For reasons only known to DJI, the logs are in metric, but only for Android.

Here's from the Mini 4 Pro. It was also like this on the Mini 3 Pro. It's just the flight log and 360° tracking ring that doesn't show Imperial.

Ok.  So, during normal flight, you're able to see feet for distance & altitude?
