Map Changes

The upgrade incorporates the map updates from LINZ up to Oct 2018, to the 1:50,000 and 1:250,000 topographic mapping. Over 70 maps have had either partial or full updates. Included are many improvements to the mapping of DoC huts and tracks.

Version 9.0 includes DoC Conservation Estate boundaries (purple outline) and Scenic and Recreation Reserves (red outline).

This upgrade also includes updates of the aerial photography. The coverage of the imagery updated in V12.0 is shown on red in the map below. In 2017 all the imagery was replaced with much more recent imagery and the coverage was extended to cover all of the New Zealand mainland, except for some areas in parts of the South Island West Coast. The tan-coloured areas are those there were updated in 2017. The gray areas have no coverage.
