Description
The current units are Map units|Meters|Feet|Nautical Miles
It needs to have "kilometers" and "miles".
Trying to use with a "label unit multiplier" results in useless garbage numbers (see screenshot).

[layouts] Add more unit choices to scalebars
Explicitly add options for kilometers, miles, etc as the current
UX for setting these is too confusing!

I agree it would be useful for a novice user be able to select the scale bar units in kilometers, although there is a workaround for this issue using a multiplier of 1,000.

Agreed - the extra units should be added to make things easier for users. I'll tackle this as part of the layouts rewrite.
