Q: Preferences for Maps in OSX
I don't understand how the new Maps app in OSX Mavericks works. The distances are metric, not U.S. measurements. There is no preference choice in the menu and it cannot find your current location if you are hard wired ethernet. Wi-Fi must be turned on.
Thoughts?
Thanks.

- Tip: The scale guide in Maps uses the regional measurement preferences (miles or kilometers) you set in the Advanced section of the Language & Region settings in System Preferences.
I had to switch mine to Metric, then switch back to US. That fixed it for me. Good Luck
