World map showing countries' year of metrication

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: World Map, colour-coded to show the years the countries started of the process of official conversion to the metric system. Using data from PhD thesis by Hector Vera[1] and NIST[2]. Magenta is preliminary 1795, and cyan is 1998; black is for countries having not adopted metric system yet, and grey is for countries with no data on their adoption year. The data used by this map can be viewed by pressing the "Edit" tab and viewing the underlying code.
