5,600 feet is closer to a mile, and 1000M is exactly 1KM, so they aren't even close to similar distances. I'd say turn in a mile if that's how far the turn was, and I'd say turn in half a mile if that's how far the turn was.

Imperial is a PITA to work with. I'd happily abandon it.

I had a girlfriend once who gave me directions to her new place, saying I would need to turn right 100 ft past the stoplight. Turned out her estimation of 100ft was actually 1.8 miles. She's artistic, not engineering inclined.
