Does UK still use mph?
Speaking about canals - do they use nautical speeds? Is the proper unit km/h,
mph or knots, are these land or sea miles? Distances here are given in km,
using km plates besides the canal.

m would be the default - and I assume it's a decimal POINT here (since many
countries do use decimal commas). Since some distances might be above 1 000
metres, I do recommend a space as thousands separator:
US: 1,000.00 m = 1 km
DE: 1.000,00 m = 1 km
1 000.00 m = 1 km ... my recommendation
