    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.

    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


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