Guest rediguana Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 Hi All, in the press today there is a new online map site in nz @ www.mapzone.co.nz I can't get to it right now, probably drowning in packets, so I don't know what its like or what it does yet. But you may want to check it out Cheers Gav Quote Link to comment

Not as pretty as 260 series for sure ... but probably has its place for some people. Goes down to a reasonable scale, esp with urban st names. Checked out the service station and fast food links and they were lacking a bit in Chch - at least compared to the points I'd collected. Frankly, I am still the most keen on developing a free db so that anyone can dl the coords into their program of choice rather than use the net and do the processing on their own machine. Oh well, time will tell - wish I could dedicate more time to it now, but Nov will have to do Cheers Gav Quote Link to comment

Guest Adman Posted October 23, 2001 Share Posted October 23, 2001 Wow, what a cool site. Every street address and number I have stuck in so far, has gone to the exact spot and as rediguana mentioned if you zoom in the NZMG coordinates are shown in the address. It's great to have another tool in my arsenal. Very Happy Cheers Adam Quote Link to comment

Yeah the thing about this site for me though is the fact that I can stick in an exact street address & number and get co-ordinates from it, this is the first time I've seen that Cheers Adam Quote Link to comment
