    Michael,<br>
    <br>
    looks good.<br>
    <br>
    I think having an explicit 'default' option is better than taking
    the 'Metric' equivalent for that, as in your example you already
    show unit alternatives within the metric system to support different
    scalings (kW / W, kWh / Wh). (Btw… waiting for someone to miss
    Horsepower & BTU here ;-))<br>
    <br>
    @Patrick, I think that also answers your implicit question:<br>
    <blockquote type="cite">
      <pre>The default button makes it unclear what the actual setting is.
</pre>
    </blockquote>
    <br>
    The default (native unit) is always metric, but you may have a mix
    of scalings, as we try to find the one that fits best for the given
    application when defining a metric. For example the current driving
    energy consumption is stored natively in Wh/km, while the energy
    used or regenerated is in kWh, and the odometer & trip counters
    are in km, while the altitude ist in m.<br>

                                            with the API stem
                                            "OvmsMetrics" it would
                                            naturally be expected to

                                            <br>
                                            An undefined metric

                                            an undocumented side effect
                                            than intended.<br>
                                            <br>
                                            Maybe 'GetDefined()' could
                                            be a better name, leveraging
                                            this behaviour, i.e.
                                            returning 'undefined' for an
                                            actually undefined metric,
