NewTopo maps are designed to encourage walking in New Zealand's most popular tramping regions.
Scale Scales vary to suit the focus of the map. Six maps are small format (A3). 38 maps are large format (about A1) of which four are double-sided, and four are available folded or flat. Four maps are specially designed as wall maps and are only available flat.
Legibility Recreational information is easy to read, complementing essential topographic information without clutter. A realistic landform provides a useful geographic context and encourages the user to engage with the landscape. The road network is very detailed and yet is clear and easy to follow.
Quality Where print runs allow, maps are printed on Polyart synthetic waterproof paper. Tramping maps are printed on LandMap high-wet-strength paper. Folded maps are presented in a clear vinyl wallet for protection.
GPS All maps are on the New Zealand Transverse Mercator projection and are GPS compatible.
