The units with an asterisk (*) in the Unit Name column are not available in all versions of Maptitude.

Units can also be specified with the "_units=plural" option string, where plural is the lower-case version of one of the strings in the array returned by GetMapUnitNames("Plural"). For example, "_units=kilometers" would set the units to kilometers.
