Profile Preferences - prefer to see feet instead of meters

In my profile I have selected the "miles & feet" option but elevation is shown in metres.  Am I doing something wrong or does "miles & feet" only apply to distance and elevation is always in metres?

Many thanks, John

It’s only metres at present. I’m happy to look at putting an alternative if I can find out what people like – is that feet, or yards, or…?

Hi Richard

Thank you for your reply.  I would like to see feet.  Its the usual way of doing things here in the USA.  It also helps with a rule of thumb for loaded touring where we try not to exceed 1000 feet of climbing in ten miles.

Thanks again

John

Ok – this should be working now! If you’ve set your profile to “miles and feet” then the elevation graph will now be in feet too.
