Google Earth image of Stp Von Seeckt at
Lombardsijde.
The Strongpoint is divided into the site
at the Military Camping(left) and the ex-Cristal Camping. Both are
not freely accessible.
The GPS waypoints are measured with a Garmin
60CSx with the exeption of number 11,12,13 and 14(ge)
which are measured directly on the 'Google
Earth Map'.
There seems te be a slight offset between
'Google Earth' and real measurements, probably due to the reference system
'Google Earth' uses.
