Please see the attachment.  I have pictures I have taken in the mountains.  Is there a way I can display this in feet instead of meters?  I'm thinking it comes directly from the EXIFTool so maybe there is no way for me to display this in feet.

If there is a way to do it please let me know.

Thanks!

According to Phil Harvey http://u88.n24.queensu.ca/exiftool/forum/index.php?topic=4405.0, GPS Altitude is always reported in meters. In any event, that's what's returned from (most/all) GPS units.

A conversion could be done in an App. I don't think calculations can be done in a metadata layout.

This value must be stored in m. GPS uses proper ISO units.
