How to change units on Apple Watch
Choose Metric or Imperial measurements for LilyMaps on your Apple Watch.
Metric (Kilometers) uses meters and kilometers. Imperial (Miles) uses feet and miles. Choose the one you are used to; LilyMaps changes the labels, not your maps, routes, or recordings.

Which unit system should I choose?
Choose Metric (Kilometers) if you normally use meters and kilometers. Choose Imperial (Miles) if you normally use feet and miles.
What changes when I switch units?
LilyMaps changes distance, contour elevation labels, speed, and pace measurements. Your maps, routes, and recordings do not change.
Can I change units again?
Yes. Return to Setting, then Units, and choose the other option whenever you like.
Do I need to restart LilyMaps?
No. LilyMaps applies your choice straight away and remembers it the next time you use the app.
Use the measurements that feel natural.
Choose Metric or Imperial once, then read every LilyMaps distance the way you expect.
