Description J.M. 'Peng' Hardin 2015-06-27 14:41:25 UTC

I started using Marble this week as an alternative to Google Earth and was glad to see that I am able to get directions in Marble. Unfortunately the distance in the routing is shown in km despite my having the distance units in the preferences set to miles.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set Distance Units to "Miles, Feet"
2. Input two locations and request Directions. 
3. Click "Get Directions" 
4. Observe the distance shown below the routing

Actual Results:  
The distance is shown in km.

Expected Results:  
Due to the settings for Distance Units it should show the distance in miles.

It doesn't matter if you select Car (fastest), Bicycle or Pedestrian routing.

Thanks for reporting this bug. It is fixed in the development version and in the stable series, Marble 1.11. Older versions (including Marble 1.9) do not get any new releases anymore. To fix it there, the Debian maintainers would need to backport http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=marble.git&a=commitdiff&h=a905f5b21

Thanks, Dennis. I'll give the info to The Powers That Be at SolydXK (my distro) and see what we can do to get it from Debian.
