The current default is miles and I cannot find any place where it could be configured to kilometers for countries (like Canada) that report and claim on km's VS miles.

Most European countries use kilometers, too.
Thank you for this idea!
Only 9% of the world uses miles, but lets just ignore the other 91% because the are not the United States.
An idea like this sitting for 5 years is exactly why I no longer put anything in Experiences. Not having kilometres as a display choice leads to users thinking they have to convert their kilometres to miles. Sure I can make a view and publish it out to everyone, but I can't do that on the mobile app and even workspace re-imagined has forms with no views can be published.
Fully agree with the comments below — it's difficult to understand why kilometers are still not supported as a default unit of measure for mileage expenses, especially considering that over 90% of the world uses the metric system.
As someone working on global D365FO implementations, we constantly need to build workarounds or customizations just to support basic regional needs like this — whether it's in Expense Management or Transportation Management (TMS), where miles are also still hardcoded in the standard mileage engine.
If Microsoft wants Dynamics 365 to be a truly global solution, it’s essential to start addressing these long-standing requests. This idea has been here since 2019, yet still hasn’t moved forward.
Please prioritize metric system support — it’s not a feature request, it’s a localization necessity.
