 GPS tracks/waypoints generally contain elevation data, as do GRASS 3D
 vectors. Currently elevation data in either format are ignored when
 translated to the other. Include a flag to force v.out.gpsbabel to export
 elevation data from 3D point vectors to waypoints or from 3D line vertices
 to tracks.  Ditto for v.in.gpsbabel in the other direction. Note that the
 standard units for elevation in a .gpx file is in meters, so provide a
 mechanism for specifying the elevation units in the GRASS location and
 convert to & from meters as required.
