i got it from the mkgmap default style. i never thought much about it,
because it just worked. but i'm wondering now why the converion is
necessary at all, because the altitude is written as the name of the
contour line. aren't names just strings?
I don't think so - according to the default contours_ft style, "#
Contours take their name from the elevation setting.". But their names
change according to 'preferences/units' in MapSource. For example, in
changing from metres to feet, '250' changes to '820' and the mouseover
name changes from '250 m' to '820 ft'. I imagine the same will apply on
the GPS unit, but it doesn't seem to happen for peaks. Also, if the
'ele' value of a contour is non-numeric, MapSource complains about it.
