Units as nmi and kts if it is metric

[surfboomerang]

@freeheeler It depends on the field settings.
WIth 3 fields I see the unit behind the value. On a 5 field screen I only see the icons so I am unable to distinguish the difference.

@surfboomerang
it would be cool to see the unit here

@freeheeler in this case it is not necessary, “Distance” and “Nautical distance” are different, and distance will be in km/h or m/h depending on settings.

[surfboomerang]

@freeheeler Yes, but then the unit setting in the watch must be made available in the app.
The only fields in SA that show unit settings are vertical speed fields. But the fact that they are described as “m/h (ft/h)” indicates no unit information is synced from the watch to SA. It only indicates how vertical speed is measured

And this

@isazi
maybe I miss something here… ml and cl are different, too, but in order to use the correct amount, I need to know the unit?

@dahab
I’ve tried and I am confused now…
SA shows both units on the phone. but I can see only metric units on my custom sport mode (kitesurfing)

[surfboomerang]

@freeheeler How is your custom profile configured?

[freeheeler]

@surfboomerang
there’s not so much to configure in terms of units

[isazi]

@freeheeler because Distance is metric/imperial. You need “Nautical distance” if you want nautical miles, as @surfboomerang said.

@isazi
I remember that default for watersports was changed once. then SA showed only natical units and my assumption was that the watch shows nautical only, too.

sorry for this mess… I would appreciate if we could avoid this back and forth with stating the unit when setting up.
in basic kite mode the units are not visible, because it’s a 4 datafield screen.

@isazi
nooow, I see!!
I was constantly overlooking it! sorry for that!!
