Are there no metric maps? Even my labeling machine defaults to metric...
Hi Rich,
I'd say most maps default to metric for contour lines, peak heights, etc.
Here is a link to view the metric version of the Gaia Topo map source: https://www.gaiagps.com/map/?lat=60.5967&lon=-145.7209&zoom=12&layer=GaiaTopoRasterMeters
My profile is set to metric, but the Stats displayed for a track are in non-metric.
@DamianBanwell
I have corrected your account, and apologize for the inconvenience.
I am registered and logged in but there is no place on my profile to change units of measurement. I am running Windows 10.

You can edit the units of measurement for your account on gaiagps.com by following this link and then clicking the “Edit Profile” option:
I have done all that and still the stats on my saved tracks default to imperial in spite of the fact that your help page indicates that they should automatically display my preferred measurement option.
I spoke too soon. I've just checked and the measurements have changed to my preference. I assume that an upgrade was done because it was only after I revisited my profile today (changing nothing) that the measurements changed.
