(Archived) Distance in android app noted in miles instead of kilometers

[Nilsz 3]

In my Evernote Android app, which is the Dutch version, distances are in miles instead of kilometers. Miles are meaningless to me. Is there a way to switch to the metric system (which should be the default behaviour in the first place, when localised properly).

Hi - welcome to the forums. I had a quick look in my (UK) EN for Android but couldn't see distances anywhere. Evernote doesn't 'do' calculations as such - where are you seeing miles?

Zoeken (Search) -> In de buurt (in the neighbourhood)

The results are noted in miles (mijl in Dutch).

I have the same request. Ukraine has metric system, like most of European countries. Google maps give users the option to choose distance, so it should be possible to adapt it to Evernote.

Sounds like you should be in a Google Maps forum, not EverNote !

On Windows, the usual thing is to display measurements in terms of the configured system units (e.g. time/date, currency, etc. and including units of measurement). That would be the best way, I think -- most applications don't need to maintain a separate setting.
