[PD] symbol to float

[hans w. koch]

thank you max,

now i remember you posted this a while ago on the list, right? 
i had earmarked it and then forgotten...
i am aware of the double precision dilemma (also encountered it in mobmuplat).
for the purpose of parsing these files from bicycle tours offline, i was hoping to get away ignoring it, but i guess you are right to point it out again :-)

best hans
