If, after I loaded one or more files, edited them, added speed, and then saved them for use elsewhere, it saved the speed as m/s AND I then looked at the file in the 'other' program or worked with it as a comma delimited file, I would have to manually convert from m/s to km/s and would be most unhappy. I can read my file in wordpad or any word processor since it is a text file when all is said and done, and m/s would ruin the whole exercise for my purposes. Give me km/h or mph [and I already know Christian will not do the latter] or give me a registry setting where I can select km/h but do NOT give me m/s... as I am not a 100 meter track runner, where that number has meaning <grin>... I should like to see anything that absolutely states that speed should be stored as m/s. I did find that time has to be stored as Zulu time... but not that speed has to be stored as m/s [or that elevation/altitude has to be stored as meters and cannot be stored as feet above sea level - also appropriate in the U.S.].
