Hi!
In many post (specially in tech-forums) people write distances. Often in miles.
I think a hand little converter between miles and kilometers would be an appreciated function. Say, under the panel on the right side, so it´s always right there when you need it.
Anyone supporting this?

Perhaps save a link as a favourite to a site that specialises in conversions?
like
http://www.metric-conversions.org/
some conversions can be obscure so a tool would have to be too detailed to cover them all

5 miles = 8 Klicks - how hard is that ?

Yes but it was the return conversion that 8k=5miles that was difficult!

Sorry for a stupid suggestion then! 
Try to picture the BIG problem here:
You are reading the forum. In almost every thread in the "problem solving"-area there are information about how far the bike has run.
In this case, I don´t feel like open another browser and a web-page for conversion, nor would I like to start up my calculator.
I just want to enter the numbers and click on a button.
That would be life-quality!!! 
And by the way, do you really understand what I´m writing? I feel like I misspell every word!

No problem with your spelling Per - its as good if not better than some !
Just seems like a 'sledgehammer to crack a nut' to add a feature like that ..... you mention 'enter the numbers and click' - just like using the calculator then ?

Per:

use a multi-tabbed browser and have the conversion webpage open in another tab ...like Firefox / Opera / Flashpeak / even IE

Ok guys!
I rest my case.
I´ll get back to this part of the forum in a moment.
And then with an even better idea to improve the forum
