As above.
As every distance in the game greater than 0.1AU is measured in AU's, it seems counter intuitive that the venerable D-scan still has to rely purely on KMs out to its maximum 15AU-ish range. This usually results in a post-it note stuck somewhere with KM-AU conversion on it and can also be confusing for newer players.
I'm not saying get rid of the KM function, just an option to toggle between the two.

It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

Speaking as someone who can do the maths for working it out....
Please change it to AU! Just less effort all around.

Just round it up?

150,000,000km = 1 AU

The 6,000,000km difference is negligible at those distances and I think you can easily operate like that... I think.

Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.

KM function is key, I'd rather have it in KM's than AU's if it was one or the other, but toggle would be unbelievably awesome.

This has come up many times. Would be wonderful. I can't imagine it being a complicated change, or why ccp hasn't done it yet.
