[Implemented in 1.0.7.16] Nokia HERE - Unit System in maps? [released]
I have my jolla in English but I am used to count distances in Km but maps show me distances in yards! Any way to change it?
We have moved to a new Sailfish OS Forum. Please start new discussions there.
I have my jolla in English but I am used to count distances in Km but maps show me distances in yards! Any way to change it?
This is related to a design flaw currently tying region settings to the language used. We are working on fixing that.
See http://www.jollatides.com/2013/12/16/how-to-tweak-jolla-system-locale/ for a workaround for now.
Good question, and I was just about to reply with link to my Jolla locale tweaking howto (@Aard was quicker) that provides us a way to play with language / localization settings, that aren't yet featured in Jolla System Settings. Hopefully we get them soon, and apps that respect LC-env variables ;)
foss4ever ( 2013-12-25 04:37:24 +0200 )True, for instance logging with ssh should follow the LC_(variable) settings imported from the client.
simosagi ( 2013-12-25 09:52:50 +0200 )Workaround works, but I'm getting infomessages at ssh login now:
NOTICE: Env value ignored LC_MEASUREMENT=de_AT.UTF-8
address settings not working as expected, still get "$number $streetname" with de_AT
@Aard Could.you also.give us answer to this.question: https://together.jolla.com/question/931/enable-more-refined-locale-settings-that-are-respected-by-system-and-3rd-party-apps/ where this locale setting problem has been more properly addressed. Thanks ;)

Settings > Apps > Maps > Distance units
Updated to 1.0.7.16. some days ago and device restarted. Just checked My Apps in Jolla Store App. No updates available. After the check I restarted Settings again and now I got Settings > Apps > Maps. Will check Settings later if it disapears again ...

The march update will fix this.
ApB ( 2014-03-09 18:23:03 +0200 )The 'Settings → Apps → Maps → Distance units Based on location / Metric / Imperial' seen in the video linked above obviously didn't make it to the 1.0.4.20 update, and I understand that it's deeply buried together with all the other should-have-been-separated-instead-of-bundled-but-we-realised-this-too-late region settings, but I hope it's being worked on, and not forgotten ... ?
phle ( 2014-03-22 19:29:51 +0200 )After Paarlampi still no way to change distance units. Is it there any chance to see it implemented?
