Is there a way to swap? Thx

TL;DR:

Displayed distances KM and NM are tied to the coordinate system i.e. UTM or Lat/Long.

Detail

MFD > Initial Page L1 > Nav Align > R5 (Right side, Button 5) --> Select UTM for KM  or Lat/Long for NM

You can enter waypoints, etc. using UTM coordinates and switch to Lat/Long on the Nav Page to see the equivalent Lat/Long position and distance to waypoints, etc. in NM.

AFAIK switching between NAV coordinate systems is none destructive to the underlying data, so
• you could fly the ingress/egress portions of your route using Lat/Long seeing distances in NM
•and switch to UTM to use MGRS coordinates, etc. once in the Operational Battlespace and supporting ground troops, etc.
