Global Speedometer versions

The euro snob in me still can't get used to the mph scale; I always end up searching for the speed value on the smaller km/h scale.

For our consideration of different clocks styles, I ask to post pictures of the different speedometer clock versions around the world.

I was hoping that our Canadian neighbors have a clock that emphasizes km/h (large outer ring font) rather than mph (on the smaller ring font)??

It was difficult to drive in UK with my km/h scaled meter.
I have to use the cleaver Garmin to know how fast I can go.

The Canadian version only has Km/h, no Mph ring at all. I use my GPS when driving in the US, however the 50/30 60/40 80/50 100/60 160/100 rule of thumb applies.

Auwch, I had high hopes for the Canadian version being a reverse of the US. It seems the US clock version is the most versatile after all with both mph and kmh.

thx all for the feedback so far. This thread is still open for pictures of all versions for everybody's reference.

if you convert the with the radio on mph. then in the center cluster, you will have the option v= ? mph instead of v= ? km/h.

Thx for the pics, the little white button/dial on the bottom right of your clusters screams to be discovered: what is it and/or what is it for?
