Default Trip mileage conversion

Couldn't get an answer on 2 other forums (Zumo and Harley).

If I start a trip in miles then switch to kilometers(Canada) and then back to miles, will the Zumo 595 convert the total distance to all miles?????

Answer: Yes.

Question: Why does it matter?

Your odometer will stay constant, programmed in miles stays in miles.

I know on my '17, I can change the odometer between miles and kilometers by holding the trip button in until it switches.

I really wonder why it matters if the GPS switches between km and mi... It's all the same 1.6 km = 1 mi all the time, that never changes. Total distance will always be the same regardless if it's given in km or mi.
