Automatically change from miles to kilometers
I'm traveling often between countries which use either miles or kilometers. As was available in a previous version, it would be great to have the option of waze using miles in the US and having it automatically switch to kilometers in Europe or the Middle East.

I've been wanting this too. Google Maps does this.

I've been waiting for this for years. It's one of the most frustrating things for border commuters since we go from KM to MI twice a day when going from Canada to US and back.
I'd be OK with a new 3rd option for units: the existing 2 as a fixed choice and a third called "automatic" which would change based on country and country settings.
Another option without a maybe complex automatic mode would be that the speedometer on the main interface could become a clickable item that would allow you to pick the units right from there. While not automatic, it would at least make the transition quick as opposed to having to dig through the menu to make the change.
The last possibility would be a voice command change instead. "Set units to miles" / "Set units to kilometers" would be the hands free version of that last idea.
Thanks - love the application otherwise
