Just a nit pick but Ive seen others mention that the Go app distance doesnt match the forum distance. Just a little while ago I flew 3 flights. The first one was 23,234, second was 23,220 and the third was 21,939. I sync'd the flight records and on the forum it only added the third flight to my total. So the question is do we need to sync after each flight? I attached a screenshot to show the difference from my forum user account which shows 171,458 but my flight records show 562,385...just curious as to why the big decrepentcy?? Thanks

You're seeing feet in the app. The forum shows meters. 562,385 ft is 171,415m

I think the US and one or two other countries still use feet. 190+ countries use metres instead.

I thought yards would be a better imperial way of measuring distance though(?).
