Hi,

when I use the navigation, the distance is always shown in meters (depending on my metrics settings, of course...). But when I have a loooong way to travel, gui elements are to small to fit the long numbers...

Maybe it would be better to show 1354 m as 1.3 km. Looks nicer and is better readable.

Thanks!

Cheers, Lutz.

Maybe this will be your solution:
Settings/Localization/Formats/Length units set to "Metric (m/km)".
With this the units changes depending of size.

Hi Lutz,

I guess KaHeMu's tip does the trick for you.
I seem to remember that the m-only display was made on request by users with special interests.
Cheers,

yes, I may also confirm this. This new settings has one unfortunate effect. It changed default settings "km" to "m" to some users. So please check your settings and change this

Thanks for your quick respond! And yes, this setting does it like expected!
Must have come with an update without my notice...!
