This is a great map with vibrant colours. Found it by chance! It is 2-sided with the North Island on one side and the South Island on the other (unlike Michelin maps). It also has a smooth plastic like feel, so it won't tear or fade as easily as a plain paper map. It also has lots of detail and shows local attractions and places to see along the way! I will be buying National Geographic maps in the future, for sure!
We use this map in conjunction with both Nz frenzy guidebooks and together they all worked like a charm. We put sticky dots all over the map after reading about the particular free attractions in the Nz frenzys, each dot corresponding to thee Nz frenzy page#, then once we were within Nz, it was super easy to know the amazing spots coming up ahead of us. You can get free maps once you're in NZ from i-sites and all, but none of them, or even this NG one, have any of the neat spots featured in the Nz frenzy books. Get this map at home, get the frenzys and you'll have the sweetest-as trip ever!
This map was nice in that it was coated so that it would not rip. However, the detail on the map was not sufficient. We got better maps free with our rental car! I would not purchase this map if I had it to do over.
Not entirely impressed with these. The level of detail is not good enough to show a lot of points of interest like lakes and such. It is good enough for finding roads and knowing how to get from one place to another, but I was hoping for a bit more topo info.
I don't recommend driving from the NG map, but this map makes memorization of locations on the two islands very eay. Buy also a real road map
We've got a trip planned to New Zealand, Australia & some nearby islands. Friends have encouraged taking a driving tour of New Zealand, as they have all found it a fabulous spot for exploring by car. We've used other National Geographic maps and always found them to be informative, reliable, and nearly indestructible... important features for travelling. Since there seem to be few maps of the area available online it is fortunate that is this National Geo map is the one available.
National Geographic is really blowing it with their maps, and this New Zealand map is a perfect example. The size if the paper the map is printed on easily allows for a larger scale map with much more detail. But NG wastes so much space with scenery photos- yes, scenery photos- that they have to shrink the scale down to 1:1,100,000. This map doesn't have enough detail even to plan with, much less drive. Mindbogglingly stupid.
This map is clear and easy to read, a good tool to help plan a trip and good to have as back-up when my GPS fails. It's also a sturdy map that will withstand the typical abuse of folding different ways and the spills from drinks and food while travelling.
