It does use grid refs, but it wouldn't be too hard to tweak the code to use
latitude and longitude instead.You wouldn't need to go deep into the
contour generation code, there's some setup code which specifies the tile.
At the moment this involves a conversion from gridrefs to lat/long and
back, since the SRTM data are in lat/long. It would be a case of removing
these conversions and then the whole thing would work lat/long.
I suppose I ought to abandon gridrefs totally but I've got too many other
things on the go at the moment .... :-)
