Distance units can be set individually for various activities - default, walking and running, cycling, swimming, etc.

Speed units can be set as default and individually for water sports.

Other units like elevation, altitude, energy and pace are set generally for all activities.

This setting contains a few controls for the upload of user photos to LoPoints:

• Enable LoPoint photo upload - de/actives the option to attach user's photos to various places on the map
• Upload over WiFi only - disables uploading over the GSM network to save user's data costs
