In the process of creating maps I am using data recorded by GPS receiver, old Croatian topographic maps (1:25000, Gauss-Krueger coordinate system, Transverse Mercator projection), outlines from trips and maps owned by my hiking society (HPD Zrin).

The published GPS data are given in the best manner without any guaranties and responsibility taken. The users are responsible for verifying these data. They are free to use for non commercial purposes.

Some GPS tracks are recorded during bicycle ride.

Used applications:

Map Datum:

  • CROATIA (GPS: Garmin Foretrex 201)
  • Ellipsoid name:    Bessel 1841
  • Semi-major axis: 6377397,155
  • Flattening:           299,1528128
  • Geodetic datum->WGS
    • dX: 675  dY: -205  dZ: 475  -TrackMaker, OziExplorer

Coordinate system:

  • Gauss-Krueger, Transverse mercator
  • False easting:
    • 5500000 (Zone 5, < 16,5°)
    • 6500000 (Zone 6, > 16,5°)
  • False northing: 0
  • Scale factor: 0,9999
