How Accurate is the Data?


The MapToaster Topo/NZ maps are derived from the Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) topographical maps.

The topographic maps have been cartographically generalised, and are intended for published maps at their original scale, i.e. 1:50,000, 1:250,000 etc. For use at any other scale, larger or smaller, you should consider carefully its application to your particular circumstances.

The LINZ specification is that 90% of ungeneralised features, the positional accuracy is within +/- 22 metres from their actual position

While all reasonable efforts have been made by LINZ to ensure that the maps as accurate and up-to-date as practicable, neither LINZ nor Integrated Mapping Ltd make any representations and give no warranties that the maps and software are free from errors, omissions or other inaccuracies.

The maps do not show all aerial wires, cableways and obstructions that could be a hazard to aircraft and must not be used for navigation.

The latest information on tracks and huts should be obtained from the Department of Conservation or other authority that manages the track or hut.
