Great, welcome to OpenStreetMap! Looks like there’s lots of work to be done in that area (i.e. you could also trace the building and other businesses - unless that whole building is yours, then you could instead add the tags to it). Here’s a place to learn more http://learnosm.org
Oh, I assume you’re talking about the main OSM website router(s) - since the project began and the governing organization OSMF is based in the UK, most default stuff is metric. Not sure if you can change that/have options on the main website, but I use Maps.Me (which is built on OSM) for routing/navigation. There’s tons of other sites as well, think MapQuest Open is still around http://open.mapquest.com/ - based in US so default is imperial.
Hope that helps, and FYI - unfortunately there isn’t a ‘notification’ system with these diary comments, so only returned ‘on a whim’ that you responded - feel free to email me directly - contact info on my OSM profile: @russdeffner

Thanks for the info Russ. I am trying to figure out how to get the turn by turn directions in miles instead of km.
