I'd find it really handy, as would the scientist at the Karst Institute
in Guilin.  They have to come up with all sorts of stats when designing
showcaves (length of tourist route, length of boat ride, total amount
of up and down in the tourist route, etc.).  If you're adding the
capability to do route lengths between two points, could you do length,
plan length, and vertical length?

More long term, it'd be useful if Aven could estimate the cave volume
based on LRUD data. Fengshan County is applying for Chinese national
geopark status based on having the biggest caves in China by volume, so
the guys at the Karst Inst. need to come up with volume estimates for a
number of caves throughout China.

Cheers,
Erin
