Imperial Units in iOS UI
jpmens opened this issue · 6 comments
As submitted in owntracks/android#1573 and discussed in owntracks/android#1571, there is an enhancement idea to have the UI present data in Imperial units? Feet, miles, mph, etc.
I'd assume a toggle in settings which defaults to metric.
In favor of feature parity between the apps, I link this here.
Unfortunately this does not work (only for Apple Maps). Need to change Region in "Settings/General/Language&Region"
In iOS, the user can use "Settings/General/Language&Region/Measurement System" to select the system.

Will use
- feet (ft) for altitudes and accuracy
- miles per hour (mph) for speed
- yards (yd) for short distances (less than a mile)
- miles (mi) for long distances
no change to
-
heading in degrees (°)
-
barometric pressure in kiloPascal (kPA)
-
radius of circular regions in meters (m)
-
other settings typically in meters (m)
Looks good to me!
Using Apple Foundation's NSMeasurementFormatter now:
... Representations of measurements are reduced and converted into a more convenient unit, when possible. For example, a quantity of 12000 meters would be represented as 12 kilometers.
Use Region to change settings! Changes to Measurement System affect Apple Maps only!
