is there a way to change the setting in the Maps application for my imac. directions are displayed in km. on my IOS evices it displays correctly but i cant find option to change it in maps. r/
OS X Mavericks (10.9), Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
One thing to try:
System Preferences, Language & Region, Advanced, Measurement Units: set it to US (instead of metric).
Then restart Maps and see if that helped.

Then change it to something else and change it back.
looks like a step was missed.
Preferences - Language and Region - Advanced - Measurement Units: US - Then Restart Maps.
Does not work in El Capitan. I have units set in International Preferences to Metric. Tried restarting Apple Maps - still in miles. Even restarted MBP, checked that metric still showing in System Preferences but when restarting Maps, still in miles. I wonder if you have to come out of UK region and time zone to change to metric.
You cannot have metric distances when the region is set to UK. If I change the region to France, which has various other implications that I find undesirable, the distances change immediately to metric. Why allow the units to be changed separate from region, if it does not work, even on Apple's own applications? I will report this as a bug to Apple.
how do i change Maps on Mac desktop from km to miles
