Metric please!

I hope there is good reason for choosing imperial measurements for the 'who's near me' feature. Miles are old hat now and metric is global standard.

Also I think that your range should be closer eg. 500 metres (0.5km) for better accuracy. Stalkers aren't that good and the only people that would worry about closer range location are cheaters. And why put a feature together that suits them. I know lots of social apps that go down to the metre and it feels better and high tech.

Please seriously consider these comments. I think they would make great improvements.

Metric is not a global standard.

Ask an American.

With a closer range... don't you understand the needs of those who require some element of privacy?

If someone lives in a place that is not densely populated they may prefer the neighbours not to know who they are or that they are online on their phone... (I know supermarkets with an area covered by less that the range you specify).

If the area is too small this may only serve to help them choose to switch off the feature, reducing the number of users. I assume you don't want that.

And why would cheaters be bothered about a reduction in the area size?

Oh and think "within a mile" is close enough.

"Metric is not a global standard."

I thought that was precisely the point in the metric system, ask any scientist or tradesman for that matter.

It's a standard, yes. But you're forgetting the word 'global' in his comment.

Anyway, who gives a shit?

It's miles.

Get over it.

I was never under it and I forget nothing. The metre is an SI unit, where the I stands for international. A quick wiki check also informs me that only 3 nations have not adopted SI units, we are not one of those 3.

who talks about km when discussing distance in the uk.. my spedo is in miles, speed limits are in mph. signs are in miles.

if you do route directions on google, they are im miles..

i think to say that miles being the units on the near me. is perfectly valid..

Have to agree with the majority, imperial is used most often in UK, personally I couldn't work in km... Does it really matter tho?? Instead of changing the distance unit, they need to get the filters working!!

I suspect information in miles means more to people than in km.

I was taught in metric units at school but imperial units are still so common I work best in a mixture of metric and imperial.

I know my vital statistics and weight in inches and stones and pounds respectively.

If measuring a room, or a piece of furniture, for example, I can use either inches or cm/mm.

I'd use cm and mm for dress making.

I'm more comfortable using miles than km for distance. If given a distance in km, I need to convert it to miles for it to be meaningful. Mph means a lot more to me than kph.

Beer is pints, as is milk. Fuel is litres/gallons.
