Q: Why would I append the elevation to the name?
A: I found it is the best way to mark summits in my own maps. It turns "Baldy Peak" into "Baldy Peak, 4052ft". This way when the point is hovered over it gives the name and exact elevation.

Q: Are there any member benefits with this tool?
A: Yes, most GPX files are stored for 24hrs. Members have access to their GPX files for a week from their "Your Files" area.
