Feet to Yards please!

Please give us the option to select Yards (or metres) instead of Feet for distances in the UK. We have been brought up on using yards for distances under a mile (but we are able to use metres as they are similar). Feet as a measure is rarely used in the UK now.

    Agreed. "1000 feet ahead" doesn't make much sense to many British drivers for visualising distance, we are accustomed to using yards (or their near equivalent, metres). I find myself having to manually convert from feet to yards, which would be 333 in the 1000ft example).

    I would always push for metric system
