Units

You can change the units used throughout TerraExplorer Pro. Changing the unit settings substantially changes the display of your project: inputs and outputs, panels, property sheets, and Head Up displays are all affected. Elevation, speed, distance and more, are affected by coordinate settings.

To change units:

§ On the View tab, in the Units group, select the speed, altitude, and coordinate units:

Degrees, Decimal Minutes	Presents coordinate values in a degrees and decimal minutes format. This option is only available when the terrain is defined in the Lat-Long coordinate system.
Speed
Km/h	Sets the display units for speed to kilometers per hour.
Mph	Sets the display units for speed to miles per hour.
