Or, indeed, you could put a conversion in the editor between the mapper typing a figure in and the elevation being saved to the database.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Adding numeric values to the name of a peak is not okay. As for using feet in the "ele" tag instead of meters, JOSM discourages this practice and I think we should too. It's long past the time when Americans and other countries still using archaic
and cumbersome measurement systems based on the length of the king's foot or thumb should embrace the metric system. The down side is that very peak I add involves an extra step.</div>

Aviation still uses feet? <br>
Asking a mapper who may not be familiar with conversion into meters leads to errors. I'd rather have the render do the conversion as is done for other dimensions.

User Raymo853 and I are having a friendly discussion on changeset<br>
50470413[1]. He has been adding the elevation of mountain peaks (in<br>
feet) to the name tag. For example, he changed "Crown Point" to "Crown<br>
Point 11,463 ft."[2] While the wiki doesn't specifically address the<br>
issue of elevation as part of a peak name, it does say "Name is the name<br>
only"[3].<br>
<br>
Could we get feedback from the wider community on this?<br>

That's what this is for: <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:ele" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org<wbr>/wiki/Key:ele</a><br>
<br>
The only catch is that it has to be in meters, so you would tag<br>
ele=3493.9 in your example.<br>
<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
</span>+1 to name tag is name only.<br>
<br>
<br>
--------------------------<br>
<br>
ele tag should be used for this information.<br>
<br>
And I would think that the ele value can be in feet just like other dimensional units of width, height etc.<br>
<br>
Should this be put as a new proposal?
