It genuinely bothers me that this setting doesn’t cause Apple Maps to use metres for walking directions and miles for vehicle directions. A yard is what northerners have instead of gardens, not a unit of distance!

The Measurement System settings on an iPhone. The options are Metric, US, or UK.

@katemorley@hachyderm.io for a yard I always picture the back of my parents’ house. I have no idea how long a yard is in relation to a metre.

A metre is about three foot three. So, if you're just estimating the distance to that bridge by eye, metres and yards are interchangeable.
