> [...] you're supposed to refer to these as "megameters"
As an educated physicist, I concur (*).
Also, it's time that the general public finally uses kilo-, mega-, and gigadollars, to avoid the confusion what a "billion" means in different languages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales#Current_usage
(*) Actually, not even physicists use megameters for some reason, neither does anyone say megagrams... people are so inconsistent.
