NZ Topo50 Offline - North vVARY
Right Place ResourcesAbout this app
Developer Description
Fully offline 1:50k New Zealand topographical map North Island
Ideal for back country navigation without cell phone access. Popular with trampers, walkers, bikers, runners, hunters, search and rescue, Te Araroa walkers.
Navigation functions includes GPS positioning, track logging, user waypoints, orientation (compass), altitude and speed display, distance and bearing to points on the map, route creation and following. Search for and zoom to named places and features on the map. Tracks and waypoints can be imported, exported, and shared in kml or gpx format.
Overlays showing DOC open permit hunting boundaries, Te Araroa tracks, and other data is included.
This app is built from the ground up to use the NZ national map grid, not the global average WGS84 datum commonly used which distorts the map. This is easy to spot. A true NZ grid will give you perfectly parallel gridlines when the LINZ map is projected onto it.
No internet or cellular phone connection is needed for full use of all the maps and navigation functions.
The storage space required for this app is reasonably large. Ensure you have sufficient space available.
Made in NZ.

Simple and effective offline map. Would love a higher resolution Google maps as an option would even pay more for it. Additionally while using the app in lock screen, on one occasion it has stopped retrieving the GPS co ordinates. Have double checked all permissions/sleep settings. Once the phone is unlocked, the app picked it up again correctly.
Very good app! Love that it's offline. No need to carry so many different maps. We used it for tongariro crossing and so good to know exactly where we are and how far we are to the end of the track. Could use a 'how to use' video though. Many of the functions you have to get to know by trial and error
needs an update or something, app is very slow and takes a while to respond, has good detail and easy enough to use
finding this app too complex to use for my tramping and E mountain biking
Was a great app but after upgrading phones the app is now extremely laggy
