Rating: - The only map you need for touring NZ
We took this map on our recent trip to NZ and it was the only map we used, it's clear to read, loved the street maps of most major towns, great for finding camp sites & points of interest. We've passed it on to friends who are travelling in December and hope they find it as useful as we did. Our 10 year old son was able to use it to navigate and find out interesting facts about the country. Highly recommended!
Rating: - Accurate reliable good quality mapping ideal for road trip
This atlas was invaluable during my tour of New Zealand's South Island. The scale is large enough that most minor roads are marked with colour coding indicating the grade of road. This gives you a rough idea of whether or not you can drive campervan down a particular road before you get to it.
It is more accurate than a lot of the tourist board maps. One map I was given listed two Campsites with facilities for campervans in Haast. The AA Atlas correctly showed that there was only one. The other one had been granted planning permission years before but had never been built.
The only shortfall of this map is that it gives no clue as to the gradient of the roads to be traversed. Some of the roads in the South Island travel through ... Read More:
Rating: - A Travel Guide as well as an Atlas
I won't go into too much detail of the content of the atlas as the previous review has done that excellently. What I would like to say though is that having used this atlas it is actually much more than just a road map. It has so many places of interest and things to do in it that it could be the only book you need to plan your trip. I would really recommend finding places to go from this atlas and avoiding the large crowds at the places listed in travel guides. Obviously this is also an ideal road map for if you driving on your holiday and has plans of many major cities (and smaller ones). Get yourself this Atlas and save the trouble os getting a travel guide too. You won't be disappointed by this.
Rating: - Excellent for planning your trip
The AA Road Atlas of New Zealand is an excellent resource for planning your trip and the routes you will take. The scale and detail are superb. With 4.75 miles to the inch, and terrain relief shown in detail, you can almost be there: want to swoop down a twisty road along a valley floor? No problem, this'll help you find one. For us geeks, it will also help you find Lord of the Rings film locations! At the front there are sections for things to do and see, campsite locations, travel times/distances etc., and at the back there is an encyclopaedic index of places and 'things' (e.g. the Mangatepopo Hut near the start of the Tongariro crossing, or the penguin colony in Oamaru). There are also detailed street maps for twenty of the main town and city centres, ... Read More:
