Displaying Feature areas

Hi I am new to the software and am busy adding features - I am looking at agricultural compartments. I want to display the area (in HA) and the compartment name. I have managed to do this, but have to change the labels manually (as the word hectares is too long and doesn't fit in most of the compartments). Is there any default way to change hectares to ha?
And also to round off the decimal places to 1 instead of 3??

I went ahead and just changed 'hectares' to 'ha' in area measure labels. I have placed new builds with the latest changes at the links below:
32-bit: http://www.bluemarblegeo.com/downloads/global-mapper/global_mapper15.zip
64-bit: http://www.bluemarblegeo.com/downloads/global-mapper/global_mapper15_64bit.zip
Simply download the .zip file for the build that you are using and extract over your existing installation files. The likely locations to extract to are as follows:
32-bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\GlobalMapper15
64-bit: C:\Program Files\GlobalMapper15_64bit
Thanks,

If you right-click in the Measure Tool there are options to either display extra precision or round values to the nearest whole number. There is not a more generic option to specify the digits of precision, but that is on our todo list to add to a future release.
Thanks,
