    Route here. Technically it's to a suburb of Leicester as that's where my in laws live. Route misses off first km and last km for privacy purposes

    Going through Milton Keynes looks a bit grim, as does the A5 just before it. Are there cycle paths?

    Yes. If you change the map to osm cycle (top right) it shows the cycle paths

    I've always used miles, but then again I'm nearly 60. As a lad I used to plan my rides on Ordnance Survey maps at a scale of 1 inch to a mile. Back home I'd trace the route with a bit of cotton then measure it to see how far I'd gone, measured inches being miles. Then in my first year of secondary school a cycling tour down the Wye valley saw us doing the same but with Barts half inch to a mile maps, again easy to measure.

    I think since in the UK we still use miles for all our road signage, and mph for speeds / speed limits, I'll carry on using imperial units.

    I did think about changing the Garmin to km when I was cycling in Portugal last year though...

    Did you not have one of those odometers you fixed to the forks and thing on the forks clicked it around each wheel revolution?
