Hi,
Do you get no contour numbers at all on iOS?
We do not get a lot of control over how labels are displayed within Google Earth maps, as we simply assign a label to each contour and rely on the Google Earth application to determine how this should be displayed. Typically GE will only show a single depth label per contour, and this result in a small number of labels showing in the case where there are a small number of very large contours. GE also has its own de-cluttering algorithms for deciding when to show the labels and we have noticed that it can show less on the iOS versions than on other versions (including Android). One thing we might look at doing is adding more depth labels as separate "points of interest" within the exported GE maps to try and get around this issue.

At the moment this is not possible from ReefMaster, although it is on the list of approved feature requests and will be implemented at some point in the next few months.
For now, all you can really do is open up your map in GE and drop waypoints where you want your depth labels. If you click on the waypoint icon (in the properties window that opens when you drop a pin), then select "No Icon", you will be left with just the label. If you create a folder first and select it, all your labels will be created within it. You can then drag the folder into your RM map base folder and save the lot as a single map.
