Hi Maverick,

Would it be possible to round ELEVATION and ALTITUDE to integer value in next GPS Tools release?

It looks "strange" to display CM precision  (ex : 461.81m) while GPS systems are far from this precision (10m to m) for our "Cycling / Riding". Our map values use to compute elevations are less accurate...

For ELEVATION, you've explained to modify FILE:

components/com_gpstools/helpers/gpshelper.php

Line 96 (round elevation to integer value):

return round( $value * $this->_fact_elevation, 0 );

 

This works fine as ELEVATION become : "461m", But, I need to do so after each GPS Tools release, so I've forgotten...

Could you implement it in your next release?

Same for ALTITUDE "m" or "ft" are far enough...

Thanks, Gil
