Can't change OS X Maps to use km instead of miles When I'm using the directions in the Maps application in Mavericks the distance is in miles instead of in km.

The "Measurement units" i set to "Metric" under "Advanced..." in Language &amp; Region preferences.

I have toggled the setting multiple times and tried both relogging and rebooting to no avail.

Is there another way to change the unit to km instead of miles?
If you want to change the system to use metric units, you have to select a region (locale), which uses only metric units.
Apple is not very good when it comes to internationalization. Especially the many small nationalities suffer from this attitude. It feels like American culture is walking all over you.

Go to System Preferences / Language &amp; Region / Select a region which definitely uses the metric system. Maps should finally work.
