Rounded variable units might be another option in settings. |
CMS profile should be self-contained, I think. |

Especially for the speed all these are useful, it is nice to have the decimal fraction in a smaller font. May you could name the rounded version as {spd.r} and let {spd} be the accurate version including decimal fraction?
Average and maximum speed will be displayed with a smaller font, so it is not really necessary to have the decimal fraction as an extra variable.
I would display spd-avg always with an accuracy of one decimal, so only one variable is needed,
{spd-avg} (with decimal fraction)
For the maximum speed may be it's good to have it as well as a rounded integer as an accurate number including decimal fraction, say
{spd-max.r} (rounded)
{spd-max} (with decimal fraction) |

 Just a few minutes ago I changed the code like this:
{spd} ---> speed (one decimal point, eg. 23.4, all units systems)
{spd.i} ---> speed (integer, not rounded)
{spd.d} ---> speed (decimal)
Similarly for spd-avg and spd-max.
New top-level element units in profile:
| Code: |
<cms version="1.0">
<units system="metric"/>
... |
Possible values: metric, imperial, nautical. Overrides Settings->Basic->Units System for given profile. |

@Kruch,
Do you think to show only suitable profiles for current unit system when selected using "8" ? |

Why ? User should be responsible to:
1. Have profiles according to unit system.
2. Remember and be sure that correct profile is only selected.
It is terrible if you have profile with for example km description and units set to nautical miles. Other solution ? |

Maybe you could make new unit variables for length and speed like
{lunit} = km (metric) or M (nautical)
{vunit} = km/h (metric) or kn (nautical) ?
(don't know the right units for imperial) |

Could you say for what unit system tag is included in profile ?
Up to this time we have not functional connection between selected unit system and used profile. So if you decided to have units tag in profile, natural way is to use it for profiles preselection, I think.
In described situation we can have at the same time one type of forced units for CMS from profile and other (from settings) for map and compass screens.
Should be ? |

The tag is optional; if not specified, user's current unit system is used - there's no backward compatibility issue.
However if someone designs a theme for specific unit system, by using the tag he can assure that it will work ok for any user that downloads the theme, regardless of his settings.
This was my idea... I can leave this tag undocumented. 
Profiles filter for current unit system could be based on file naming convention, to avoid scanning N files for the tag... |

So ...
cms.mxxxxx.xml for metric units
cms.ixxxxxx.xml for imperial
cms.nxxxxx.xml for nautical
seems good ?
And next, couldn't such first system letter be used instead of tag ? |

Well, I thought it would be cool to have a CMS that automatically shows the right units - can the last used CMS file be automatically loaded next time as default? (Sometimes I use metrical and sometimes nautical units) |

|
| regarding my previous message that i can not run trekbuddy on blackberry 8300. I found the problem. At that time Im using the latest firmware (4.2.2.175). But when I tried to downgrade the firmware (to 4.2.2.114), trekbuddy works perfect. So...where is the problem? I hope trekbuddy works on the latest firmware. |
