Does anybody know if there is a way to adjust the altitude unit in the gpx file?  I noticed that GPX export of flight path has altitude in feet in the '<ele>' field. The correct unit is meters per the gpx standard. some of the software like google earth and CloudAhoy are not showing the correct altititude when I import the GPX from iFly

  <trkpt lat="39.75782674" lon="-77.23903656">
        <ele>2060</ele>
        <time>2020-10-09T17:19:05Z</time>
        <speed>95</speed>
      </trkpt>

i got around this with a small python script to convert feet to meters in the GPX xml file.  but would be nice if this got fixed officially :)

This is fixed in the upcoming 11.1 release, elevation is exported in meters.

Thanks,
Walter
