Default PowerFLARM questions

When reviewing the screens shown onhttp://www.gliderpilot.org/PowerFlarmDisplaysit has been noted that the distances are in Km. *Does the PowerFLARM system give the user the ability to change the defaults to statute, or nautical miles? *(It would seem intuitive that an item being marketed to the US would have this ability.) How do you know the scale of the rings in the first sample photo with the eight in the upper left hand corner?

Will the PowerFLARM logger record pressure altitude, or only GPS
altitude? *Will it record engine noise level?




The 8 in a circle is the standard Butterfly Flarm display way of
showing the range, in this case the 8 would mean the outer ring is 8km
and the inner ring is 4km.

If the PowerFLARM does not support imperial units I'll eat my hat (and
I have a big Stetson all ready to smother in ketchup). For example
Butterfly tell me that their iGlide software coming out soon for the
iPhone will support imperial units as well as km.

BTW it sobvious but I'll state it anyhow - if you are using an
external PDA etc. to also show traffic the units on that are selected
completely independently of the PowerFLARM or PowerFLARM brick's
dedicated external display.
