If you're looking
for an external antenna to use your GPS in the
car, the nearest Toyota dealer may have something
for you. Ask for a spare antenna from Toyota's
Car Navigation System, change the proprietary the
connector for a standard BNC and plug it into
your Garmin. According to
Serge's experience (with a 45XL), the magnetic
base makes it easy to attach to your car's roof,
and the reception is outstanding.
Consider
it as an alternative to the active Lowe antenna.

If you use
topographic maps or the Topographic Atlas from
the Belgian National Geographic Institute (NGI/IGN),
you have probably noticed a reference to the so-called
Belgian Lambert coordinates. To
convert these coordinates using the Convers utility
(also distributed with GPSTrack), André asked
the NGI what were the appropriate parameters.
To
use them, just add these 2 lines to your "convers.ini"
file:
LB50=Lambert Belge 1950 (LB50),4,BD50,4,0,0,49.5000°,51.1000°,
4.2204710°,50.3943062°,150000,150000
BD50=Belgian Datum 1950 (BD50),0,BD50,4,0,0,-54.8,50.6,-156.6

Better yet,
download
this updated "convers.ini" file
(1.25 kB)
and copy it over the original one. |
