New Zealand Map (National Geographic Adventure Map, 3500)

This is a quality map that should bear up to road trip wear and tear. Very easy to read and the quality one expects from National Geographic. Details are well marked.

We bought the map to plan our New Zealand vacation but it ended up being very useful when our GPS died on day one of our drive! With this map and minimal use of cell phone data, we drove around both Islands for three weeks.

With the North Island on one side and the South Island on the other, it has plenty of detail for those planning a road trip in New Zealand. The scale is 1 inch to 17 miles (1:1,100,000). Lakes, rivers, and mountains, and contour lines are printed on the map in addition to the roads, towns and cities. It's easy to read, and is printed on a really tough material that can handle a lot of folding and unfolding. There are no inset maps detailing any of the cities, but this a great map for getting the big picture. Nice job, National Geographic!

The National Geographic map for NZ has an acceptable scale of 1cm is 11 km and the paper is both waterproof and tear-resistant. I also bought the Michelin map for NZ, but this map is not waterproof & tear-resistant. The scale of this map is also too small, 1cm is 16 km! They could have put the north and south islands on either side of the map, increasing the scale. This is what National Geographic has done with their map for NZ. The National Geographic map is the clear winner for NZ.

Excellent map, exactly what I needed for planning our trip.

This map is very detailed and informative. It helped me plan for my trip by providing so much detail about the things to do in each area. It is made of paper that should stay dry and does not tear easily. Highly recommend.

Well constructed and the perfect scale for planning tourism.

It's about the scale of a good state map.
