Sony Action Cam HDR-AS30V - Changing the GPS Overlay Units

       I have finally figured out how to changed the units displayed on my videos while inserting an overlay on them from the GPS on the Sony Action Cam HDR-AS30V.  Up until now, the units have always been in mph, where I prefer km/h.  I thought originally that it was in internal stting somewhere, since i purchased mine from the US.  But that isn'ty the case.  I looked all over in the Playmemories home editing software to look for a setting for which units you would like to select - there is none either.  I even emailed Sony about it.  They told me to call customer service.  Nothing pisses me off more than having to call customer service and sit through 10 minutes worth of answering questions regarding which product you want to talk about, then waiting another 10 minutes on hold for someone to answer so I didn't do that.

      I did start messing with the region and language format settings on my computer.  Apparently it was set to US language and region (I live in Canada), so Sony's ultra brilliant software just assumed I wanted my units in mph, instead of having a simple intuitive selector built into Playmemories software to do that.  I have been playing with it for about half an hour to figure out if it is the language setting itself, the region setting or both.  It seems like it might be both, since I have tried just to change one of them and it didn't change to what I thought it should be.  In any case, this is a good tip for someone wondering how to change the speed units on the GPS overlay for the Sony Action Cam..  it only took me about three weeks to figure it out.
