NZ maps -OziExplorer Compatible

Post by Aushiker » 23 January 07 6:30 pm

Hi

We are looking at heading over to NZ later in the year. Hence I am looking around for OziExplorer compatible street level maps.

I have checked http://forums.gps.org.nz but my preliminary searches were not too fruitful.

So does anyone have any suggestions?

Regards
Andrew

I'm in the same boat (April for us)

I have contemplated getting these maps:

I dont know how good they are though...

$30NZ...whats that? about 40 cents Australian or something? :lol:

These might be worth a look, but are not cheap:

Not streetlevel (towns) hence the cheap price.

Don't appear to be OziExplorer compatible.

Hi

Found this on the NZ forums - http://forums.gps.org.nz/viewtopic.php?t=2735 - some options listed here including http://www.pcpages.com/graemewi/ which appears to be able to be converted to OziExplorer.

Slightly OT, but if you get to Timaru this moveble GA0645 may still be around

I recieved the HEMA Topo maps on friday
1:350000 scale :shock: , but good for the touring part of things (tourist stuff is hightlighted).

I have made some good street level maps using maprequest for Auckland, New Plymouth and a few other spots I am going too...all very good.

I hadn't played with maprequest before...I'm SUPER happy with the results!
