Topographic Map Tiles
The Topo50 map series provides topographic mapping for the New Zealand mainland and Chatham Islands at 1:50,000 scale.
At a scale of 1:50,000, Topo50 maps show geographic features in detail. They are useful for a wide range of activities such as local navigation by vehicle or on foot, locality area planning and study of the environment. Used by a wide variety of groups, Topo50 is the official topographic map series used by New Zealand emergency services.
To produce our Topo50 maps of the New Zealand mainland we use:
The New Zealand Geodetic Datum 2000 (NZGD2000) the coordinates of longitude and latitude
The New Zealand Transverse Mercator 2000 (NZTM2000) projection this is what enables the curved mathematical surface approximating the Earth to be represented on a flat sheet of paper.
To produce our Topo50 maps of the Chatham Islands we use the Chatham Islands Transverse Mercator 2000 (CITM2000) projection.

Satellite Imagery
LINZ has been working towards getting New Zealands most current publicly-owned aerial imagery covering 95% of the country.
Aerial imagery is captured from airborne sensors and cameras. It provides an accurate photographic representation of the earths surface and the features on it. It can be used to visualise landscape, or to understand how an area has evolved over time.
