NSLocale and measurement systems

Hi,

I need to present a distance in my interface either as kilometers or miles.

There are two keys in NSLocale that indicate which measurement system the user prefers: NSLocaleUsesMetricSystem and NSLocaleMeasurementSystem.

As a "native speaker of the metric system" I'm not really sure what to do with them.

If NSLocaleUsesMetricSystem returns NO can I automatically assume american measurement units (i.e. usage of the statute mile)?

What does NSLocaleMeasurementSystem return?

Roddi


P.S. What a mess: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mile
