Map My Ride printing

So I have been creating maps for my next tour on Map My Ride and I quite like the layout, but I am having trouble with one issue. I get everything set up in metric (including the elevation and notes sheets) and view it quite well on the screen, but any time I try to print, it reverts to imperial. Am I missing something here? Besides the fact that I think in metric, my tour is in France and everything will be obviously signed in metric. It would be much nicer to not have to do math constantly as I ride along. Has anybody come up with a solution to this?

that doesn't surprise me. I have mapped out some routes on that site and found it to be a bit quirky. The ability to blen with Google Earth is very cool, though. Maybe it would work in metric with GPS? I am no tech expert, just a thought.

In case anybody cares, I got an answer to this on the Map My Ride forum. It had to do with the fact that you can edit your profile to metric or imperial. Apparently mine was set in imperial. As soon as I edited my profile it worked like a charm.
