Changing Default Distance Settings From Miles to Kilometers

In the Esri Viewer Selection widget, you can select features within a distance of a point you select on the map, as shown in the following image.

Although you can select either the miles or kilometers distance unit from the drop-down list in the widget, the default unit in which the distance is shown is determined by your browser locale settings. For example, if your browser language is United States English, the distance will be shown as miles, but if your language is Australian English or United Kingdom English, the distance will be shown as kilometers.

For information about configuring locale settings in your browser, see the help content for your browser.

This is a change in behavior from prior releases and will be implemented automatically when you run a map request.
