Neville Bailey Posted January 10, 2018 Share I have the Garmin Edge 520 and have it set up so that LiveTrack automatically starts when I start a ride, with an automatic email notification to my better half. Works like a charm - she has peace of mind knowing where I am riding. One thing that bugs me is that the default unit of measure on the LiveTrack map is statute (imperial) rather than metric, and she has to adjust that setting every time she opens the map. I have checked my default settings in the Garmin Connect app as well as on my 520 and it is set to metric, yet the problem persists. Is there anything I am missing? Or is it a bug that will hopefully be fixed in a future update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
428 others Posted January 10, 2018 Share Perhaps the settings in your Strava app? Edit: Assuming you are using Strava Beacon Edited January 10, 2018 by 428 others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShanRam Posted January 10, 2018 Share I have the exact same annoyance - so am following this hoping for a solution. Strava should not have any effect on Garmin - - but if there is some thinking around this, my Strava is set to metric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon123 Posted January 10, 2018 Share My GF asked the same thing a while back (using Livetrack on Edge 820 and also enabled Strava Beacon, but it never seems to mail her).... Maybe she must create an account on connect and set the units? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Pym Posted January 10, 2018 Share Will be following this! I have the same issue with the imperial units, as well as emails not being sent. I’m using the Edge 820. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mecheng89 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Garmin LiveTrack for me is in metric, no issue. Haven't had complaints on the Beacon either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Neville, I had a similar problem and solved it by syncing/ pairing the phone and device via blue-tooth on the phone rather than syncing via Garmin Connect on one's computer. Ensure all the metric settings are correct first.Hope that makes sense. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Anderson Posted January 11, 2018 Share Go to the https://connect.garmin.com/ site and check in the top right corner, there is an icon for device, click on the settings and it will take through to your device settings, make sure those are set to metric.
