You should be interested in the file "zone30_BE.asc" from the zip. That's just a CSV file with the columns "lon, lat, text".
So you can just use the GpsBabel command gpsbabel -i CSV -f zone30_BE.asc -x swap -o GPX -F zone30_BE.gpx Note that the "swap" is needed because GpsBabel expects (lat,lon) and not (lon,lat). I did notice that almost all points are in the south-east of Belgium. I first send this mail with the GPX attached, but as the limit is 80kb, it was blocked. So you should just use the command. If the mail does get through, you can still see the GPX.
