Default Anyone ever have a look into the calculator?

Please Login to Remove!

The Metric conversion are sweet!

Inches to Centimeters
Feet to Meter
Yard to Meter
Miles to Kilometer
LB to kg
F to C, I think it's temperature
US Gal to Liter
UK Gal to L
US MPG to L/100km no idea.

I was doing some estimating today and press the menu button in the calculator by mistake. Saw metric and clicked on it. To my surprise, these conversion comes very handy.

Very cool indeed.
F to C is Farenheit to Celsius- you are reight, it is temperature.

US MPG to L/100 km is United States miles per gallon to 100 kilomters per liter-it is a gas mileage converter.

Just so you know, the 7130 does this as well. I suspect that all 4.1 (possibly older as well) devices do this.

That's funny because i just learned about that this morning by accident. I was driving while doing some calculations (safe I know) and by accident discovered the aforementioned feature. I love my pearl (sighs with content)

FWIW, this handy feature has been around since at least the 950/957 days.

I have a Pearl with 4.2 software and I don't have this feature. Mine does metric (back and forth) but nothing else.
