    Whenever we visit the UK we set the GPS units to metric. I have no feel for what, “In 140 yards, turn right”, means. So having directions in metric while the street signs are in Imperial actually works best.

      “In a bit less than 140 meters, turn right.”

      Those 300, 200, 100 yard countdown signs before a motorway exit ( /// // / ) might actually be 100 metres away from each other
