ArcMobile Scalebar

Is there anyway to set the scale bar units (or other properties) in Mobile Project Center?

If you are using the out-of-the-box solution, you can change your local settings in Windows to make sure ArcGIS Mobile uses imperial or metric system.

ArcGIS Mobile scalebar will start at KM when zoomed out, and as you zoom in very close it will change to meters. Frequently, the scale will be 0.01KM for my extents.

Thanks for the reply Akhil. I should provide more details.

I setup my ArcGIS Mobile project on PC running Windows 7. In the Mobile Project Center my scale bar displays as miles, yards, feet depending on the scale. This is the same when I open the mobile project with ArcGIS Mobile on the PC.

I then load the mobile project onto a Trimble Juno SB, it opens and all data layers work fine, except now my scale bar displays metric units (km, meter). Regional Settings on the Juno are set to English (United States), which is the only OS settings I can locate on the Juno that would switch between Metric and Statute (US).
