About NZ Topo Map - Topographic Maps

Topographic maps of New Zealand are now in your pocket with NZ Topo Map — a fully free, offline-capable navigation tool built by a Kiwi for outdoor adventurers. Whether you're tramping through remote trails, hiking alpine peaks, or planning a mountain biking expedition, this lightweight app delivers everything you need without draining your battery or storage space.

Explore New Zealand's terrain with professional-grade Topo50 mapping at 1:50,000 scale, the same detailed reference used by emergency services nationwide. The app combines topographic tiles with high-resolution satellite imagery covering 95% of the country, giving you multiple perspectives of your surroundings. Download entire regions for offline availability — perfect when you're beyond cellular range. Relief shading adds visual depth to terrain, helping you understand elevation changes at a glance. Search and navigate using Decimal, DMS, NZTM2000, or UTM coordinates, and cross-reference your location against the official paper map grid.

Planning routes and tracking your adventures is intuitive and powerful. Add unlimited markers, organize them by custom tags with colour coding, and toggle visibility to keep your map clutter-free. Import GPX, KML, and FIT files to load waypoints, tracks, and routes from external sources. The built-in GPX editor lets you create and refine tracks directly in the app, while the interactive elevation profile shows gradient details for every segment. Record your own routes in real time or follow pre-loaded tracks with confidence. Export and share your completed journeys with friends or upload them elsewhere.

Integrated Department of Conservation (DOC) features put essential outdoor information at your fingertips. Search and view DOC huts and campsites with up-to-date contact details and facilities information — just tap a marker for the latest data. Browse DOC-maintained tracks, download them for offline use, and even overlay the DOC Open Hunting map to plan hunting expeditions. Measure distances between multiple points and markers using the straight-line distance tool.

Designed for outdoor enthusiasts who demand reliability without compromise, NZ Topo Map respects both your device's battery and storage limits. The app supports external SD cards, offers full tile cache control, and stays current with fresh imagery independent of app updates. Navigate smoothly with familiar Google Maps interactions: pinch zoom, scroll, rotate, and drag markers effortlessly.

NZ Topo Map - Topographic Maps is your essential companion for tramping, hiking, walking, biking, running, hunting, and every outdoor activity that demands accurate topographic detail offline.
