This thread has been going on since 2013 so I don't expect anything to change soon. However, if you don't ask you don't get.
I don't think we in the UK have mixed signage of miles and metres. If we're using Imperial units it's miles and yards.
At the moment, I get some directions in decimal miles, 1.1, 1.2, etc. Others though are in fractions of miles for 1 1/4, 1 1/2, 1 3/4. My preference would be to keep the quarter, half and three quarters and have all the others in yards.
I've seen elsewhere that others mentally convert what is said into their "internal" units. I too do this, i.e. 1000ft being a bit over 300yds but it's amazing how much the small amount of brain power required to do this takes so much concentration on the road.
The solution is, of course, to make everything configurable like major units of kilometres or miles and minor units of metres, yards and feet.
The dificulty, I imagine, is for the existing voice recordings needing to be upgraded considerably.
