Comment(by marisn):

 Replying to [comment:4 annakrat]:
 > I implemented the -m flag in r62035. In case of latlon, meters are used
 always. I reverted the changes in GUI.

 If changing module parameters, wouldn't it be better to implement it as a
 choice option with appropriate parser standard option chooser? Default
 could be location units. Then the user could decide, if he wants to have
 metres, feet, etc. Just a question not a request.
