Hmm, I see metric distances (kilometers). Accessing from Germany. It's still using the English Wikipedia though, not the German one (which I think would have more local content).
PS: there's a side bar link to switch between miles and km, I might have pressed that (was expecting to see some sort of distance map though instead of switching between 'imperial' and 'modern' ;)
Could that be a UK thing? I wouldn't know tbh, because between mixing yards and miles versus sticking to imperial units in the 21st century, the latter is definitely crazier ;)

And mixes it with miles, too. Crazy decision.

Yep, we mix them up. Distance and speed in miles, fuel priced in pounds per litre.

> Distances measured in yards for non-US destinations is an insult
FTFY. I live in Japan and it also shows me the distance in yards and miles.
To convert to meters, multiply by 1.
That's an imperial meter, a standard SI meter is about ten percent longer.
I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home; they're not much bigger than two meters!
Multiply by 0.914
