How do I change the local app to show me Fahrenheit instead of Celsius?
That feature is not an option, as I understand it.
Yeah no option on the MNGP or the Local Status app ..... but you can do it on Grahams Classic Android App which has lots of other virtues as well .

There is also a forum discussion on this app if you want to give feedback or requests.

no there is no setting to change it in the LA
(it is ok for us European users - but I wonder why this is not existing)
and I don't remember that I have read in the classic manual about to change it
But you can use Graham's Android App to view the Classic and there is a setting for display the temps in °F

I think in some past version of the Classic firmware you did have the ability to change C to F on MNGP but if I remember correctly the F was dropped because it was kind of a pain for the support staff and maybe programmers to have two different temperatures when helping diagnose problems when they weren't sure if C or F was being used. Just having one temperature eliminated confusion for everyone.

That sounds logic :)
So the best solution is Graham's App ;)
Yea being I only own apple products I had to go buy and android tablet but I really do like that app!!!!!
LEARN !!!
the last , slowest , stuck area is USA !! the world / space is metric !!
Its so EZ , freeze = hard water is 0c boil is 100c dang math made EZ
Why are they dumming you out ?

All that metric stuff is too easy .
So who is getting dumbed out ?
I like the more complex math .

Canada & USA
Up here they BS the price & sell 1.49/lb but bill in KG's so you have no idea . Down there they sell $/lb but it's more than we pay in canada .
Im old & just had to do math long hand since No one had a calculator,, 3 folks said to me , what are you doing & one went for a calculator to make sure I was wrong !! 1950's taught !!
Here in Canada we have had the metric system since 1979, i know most measurements in both systems besides for pressure im still use to p.s.i. , i worked in automotive for 35 years and since most cars back then were usa built ( or north american ) there were a mix of both measurments ,
Here is a quick ( not precise) way to convert celcius to f,( i will use room temp so 20 c ) take 20 double it minus first didit plus 32 = temp f , so 20 x2 =40 -4=36+32=68f

Tell me I'm not Canadian...I drive in Kilometers/hr, but Toronto is still "100 miles" away. I measure stuff by the kilogram, but I still weigh 170 pounds. My height is 5feet 8inches, no idea how tall I am in metric :o. I try not to pollute my grandson with my imperial hangovers.

USA don't have to change. for one thing they are the centre of the world and besides they have trump!
We use the metric system for money - isn't that a start ? Baby steps .
here is a guy who wrote 6 reasons the metric system stinks
( I didn't say it did ) he has some points

i was writing this because carter wanted to change over to metrics. then regan cancelled it. i suppose it is possible he thought it might have had something to do with winning the cold war. (at least carter initialled committee looking into it)
i think there are only 3 countries left with imperial system, the other two are very tiny, can't remember which they are.
Just different languages , I am fluent in one and semi fluent in the other .
Interesting some of the points made in that article. For example if I talk to a friend in Australia and they ask me how far from a city I am located , I do say it is 2 hour drive instead of 90 miles because that gives a better idea of distance that is more universal. Unless you are a real slow poke driver or are from an area where the roads are primitive. But I knew to whom I spoke . If I was talking to someone in rural Africa I may have to convert that into how many days of walking and take into account any natural obstacles like mountains or rough terrain to cross.

if somebody asks me where i am situated, my answer is 100km south of sydney. this works really good. even for most americans.
keep in mind usa military forces use metric.
probably sciences too.
the gimli glider serial of air crashes, the plane runs out of fuel because the fueler incorrectly converted from metric to imperial or vise versa. just this incident should make it rational to change over for the americans. but like i said, usa is a super power.
another incident in similar direction. i went to usa for a year and returned with texas cowboy boots and hat. went into a super market in switzerland. the cashier asked me in english if i was going to pay in us dollars. (many americans think, thought, the us dollar is used all over the world)
australia sort of has a metric imperial system. the timber is in foot or inch segments but expressed metric. so you have 2.7m or 1.2m lenghts and a 2 by 2 is a 50 by 50. however, temperatures are definitively expressed in c. as are distances in km and beer in liters. psi however is still used atstead of bars. and i personally prefer psi.
the recalcitrance of the usa in this matter also makes it more difficult for you to export things. mind you, this won't affect you much as the usa is such a large market and so insular.
Yeah doesn't effect me too much - I have full set of both fractional and metric wrenches and sockets. Most of the older stuff is fractional and the newer stuff is mostly metric. I just know if the one wrench doesn't fit , get the metric ! You have to have both - sometimes two different types are on same vehicles or equipment.

I am 71, and I know how to convert... but have you ever NEEDED information at a glance and had to stop and do a math operation in an emergency??? This kind of arrogance is insulting and uncalled for.
