Change manually datum in .map to use automatically batch convert

Hi everybody,
I have a huge amount of Czech maps and I would like to convert it with batch converter, but when I use this .map file I get the alert "Failed:D:\Mapy\Shocart pro Ozi\Praha_Tabor.map Datum no soportado!!!!". I read the manual for OruxMaps Desktop and on the last page there is a bubble "Datum must be WGS 84", but I need the datum Pulkovo 1942: Russia. I´m able to convert the maps in converter, but not in batch converter. Is there a way how to change datum in .map file correctly? I have tried almost all.

Hi;

you can add your datum in Ozi2Orux.txt file.

Which datum do you select in OruxMapsDesktop?

if you select manually 'S-42 (Pulkovo 1942): Hungary' you need to add to that file:

Pulkovo 1942|S-42 (Pulkovo 1942): Hungary

(you have to remove ':' and the space).

What would I need to use to batch convert GB Ordnance Survey maps with the following Datum format: Ord Srvy Grt Britn. Ths information in the .map file from OziExplorer is:
OziExplorer Map Data File Version 2.2

D:\Mijn documenten\GPS\Images\GB\_0001_HPd_Yell.png

Point01,xy, 4218, 93,in, deg, , ,N, , ,W, grid, HP, 40000, 20000,N
Point02,xy,10029,10125,in, deg, , ,N, , ,W, grid, HU, 69000, 70000,N

Manually converting this file using the OruxMapsDesktop is OK, but doing this for 140+ files is just too much work. I would like to use the batch convert option.

Hi;

If 'Ordnance Survey Great Britain 1936: England' Datum works fine with your maps, then you have to add this line to Ozi2Orux.txt file:

Ord Srvy Grt Britn|Ordnance Survey Great Britain 1936England

try it and tell us if it works,

Hi Orux,

It is now complaining about the projection: Proyección no soportada!!!!
According to the Ozi .map file the projection is: (BNG) British National Grid

Any ideas?
