Here, in Canada, our odometers register in kilometres and tenths of kilometres. Distances to features such as bumps or turn-offs are given in metres. For instance, a turn-off might be displayed as being 500 m ahead. All one has to do is add a '5' to the tenths position on the odometer in order to guage the approach to the feature. It is difficult to imagine that, with odometers in miles and tenths, how it would be more convenient to have features announced as being 1,000 feet or 400 yards ahead. We USED to do that so we know an improvement when we encounter one. Objections to SI road signs are based on emotion, not intellect.
