Good evening everyone!!

I have a quick question.  In my DJI app there is an option to pick "Imperial" vs "Metric" when it comes to distance/speed/etc.  The app shows Imperial numerics for my current distance, speed, altitude...  but shows metric when I pick all of my limits (max distance, altitude and most importantly RTH altitude).  Does anyone know if there is a fix for this or do I have to just do all the conversions?  Thanks for your help!!

Either stay all metric or do the conversions.  Metric for max altitude is easy...I set 120 meters and never think about it until I get the Max Altitude audio warning.  Distance is a relative thing...when signal strength starts to drop off, you are well past VLOS so it's time to turn around.  I'm not into speed other than getting to my planned photo op location so whatever speed I can get I don't need to know the number.  Can't help you much but no one else answered sooooo......

Please provide me the screenshot of your setting of measurement unit. What is the version of your app? Please keep us updated, thanks.

Never had issues with that. But then again, I'm in metric area....

I understand what you are saying regarding keeping all the settings the same, but........  I am not as concerned with the max height as much as I am concerned about the RTH setting.  I change the RTH depending on the area I am in; in the event that I *need* to use it.  Sometimes I am in a wooded area, sometimes residential and sometimes farmland... all of which would require a different setting.  I am not trying to sound lazy by not wanting to calculate the differences between the two but I was raised with the imperial system and its easier to look at the data and be able to make quick decisions vs having to take the time to calculate.

I do not have my spark attached to my phone at the moment.  These are screen shots showing that I have imperial selected as my measurement unit, a screen shot of a flight record showing that I have imperial measurements while flying and that metric is the measurement unit I have available for RTH, max distance, etc settings.

Thanks for your update. Just confirmed, the limit distance and altitude will be showed in metric. And it can not be changed.

Even US is moving slowly but steadily towards proper metrics system.
In some very progressive areas like i.e. Boston, MA, if you still use imperial, you are considered... well.... out of date.

There are a couple of suburbs in my general area that use the metric system alittle more often than others

Yeah, in next hundred years, all will finally switch to meters and liters as opposed to miles and gallons.
Kids in schools are heavily taught metric system nowadays...

It would for sure sort out these questions

I'd like to see metres and MPH (UK)
