#1: Afv's and GPS coordinates Author: Tichenor, Location: AntwerpPosted: Sun May 15, 2011 7:18 pm ---- Over the years we did collect a lot of locations with coordinates here at the discussion board, but not a lot has been done with them.
To make some use of them I did compile a few files with those coordinates, a .klm file to be used in Google Earth, a .gpx file (GPS exchange format, most gps software can use that), a .gdb file (the standard Garmin database) and a .ov2 file (just for the TomTom users). All the known (to me that is ) coordinates are in there. You can find the files here: www.afvregister.org/Download.aspx

There could be italian and swiss locations you are missing. Hope it could help: maps.google.com/maps/m...d69b3f&z=4

It's my intention to update the files frequently (every 100 coordinates added to the list or so).

to be honest, when I do tankspotting, I don't use GPS coordinates. Indeed, in most cases I don't even know exactly where the tank is located (name of the street). I'm used to ask the inhabitants "hey man, where is the american tank" and usually they know.
