I would try Maporama. It is a French site, also uses English and several languages and allows for metric and/or ifp; all settings and options can be chosen. They have maps and routes for all continents. It allows for metric data in Northern American itineraries and maps.
http://www.maporama.com A few years ago they were atrocious: all their maps and itineraries, in all languages, regardless of what part of the world they were defaulted to yards and miles. Metric was available, but had to be 'personalized'. For instance, I loaded an itinerary from Paris to Bordeaux, or between the two Dutch cities Maastricht and Den Helder in the Dutch language straight from the homepage for the first time, and got ifp for my troubles in Dutch and then also in all the other languages. This made me literally gasp with revulsion. I protested against these standard settings, this was followed by an exchange of e-mails, and indeed, they changed their defaults to metric in all languages, even English. Now Maporama is a decent, international site.
