Description Sawyer 2024-09-29 23:01:33 UTC
Currently, the Itinerary app only supports Metric units (e.g., kilometers, liters, kilograms) for distance, volume, and weight. This can be challenging for users in regions where Imperial units (e.g., miles, gallons, pounds) are commonly used. To enhance the app's usability and inclusivity, the app needs to have support for Imperial measurements. As a result, users who are accustomed to Imperial would benefit from the option to view information in a format that is more familiar to them.

Key Features:

Measurement Units:

Provide an option to switch between metric and Imperial units for distance, temperature, volume, and weight.
Allow users to set their preferred measurement system in the app settings.
User Experience:

Ensure that the unit conversion is seamless throughout the app, including itinerary distances, travel times, and temperature forecasts.
Include clear indicators of the measurement system currently in use, to avoid confusion.
Implementation:

Utilize a toggle or dropdown in the app settings for users to easily switch between metric and Imperial measurements.
Ensure that all relevant calculations are accurately converted and displayed based on the selected measurement system.
Benefits:

Enhancing user experience by accommodating different preferences and increasing the app’s accessibility for a wider audience.
Potentially attracting more users in regions where Imperial measurements are standard, thereby expanding the app’s user base.


Thank you for considering this request!
