Being of the 'Senior Age Group' I always use Imperial. The only metric unit I use voluntarily is ºC, other than that I always use Imperial from first choice.

Distance -imperial.
Length, long- imperial, short -metric (less than 1 inch)

Temperature, metric!

gps/mm/GS all set up for imperial.

So mostly (99%) imperial, but when I get close I sometimes tend to switch back to meters.
ie, ~300 feet = ~football pitch = ~100 meters etc...
this doesnt happen always tho :confused:


note, I'm foreign, brought up with the metric system.
