Kilometers to Miles in Maps in Mavericks?
How do you change from Kilometers to Miles in Maps in Mavericks?
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
System Preferences > Language & Region > Advanced > Measurement Units: US would make it show up in miles.

Same way you would for anything else. Language & Region System Prefs, Advanced button. Set units to Metric.
Tried that before I posted. No joy. It doesn't matter whether I put it on Metric or US, my directions on Maps show up in km.
Change it US > logout > log back in and see what happens.
Voila. Logging out and back in did the trick. Go figure. Thanks.
Does it still not respond immediately after logging out and back in?
It's fixed. Logging out and back in fixed it.
Sorry, but I do not know how to " logout". Logout of what, preferences? Or does that mean restart my mac? I tried restarting and it did not work. Still getting metric. On my iPhone and iPad works just fine but on my Mac always metric.
Sorry again. I saw logout with my name. I logged out. Then I logged back in and still metric. Any thing else I need to do?
Mine was initially on US in the Language and Region preferences. I changed it to Metric, then back to US, logged out of my account, then logged back in and it had changed from KM to MI.
Hooray, it worked just like you said. Thank you so much.
that solved it.
Sorry, doesn't work for me. Units are set to metric - checked. In maps they display as imperial (not what I want). I logged out and back in. No luck.
Any thoughts?
Same problem here. None of the suggestions above have addressed the issue. Despite all efforts, MAPS on my iMac will not change from kilometers to miles after installing Mavericks. After re-installing Mavericks. After applying all the updates.
Every other application--without exception--accepts chosen settings in System Prefs 'Language & Region."
