Most people appreciate a detailed map of New Zealand as an essential requisite for planning their route and travelling through the country. Online, Google provides a fascinating tool.
The top right navigation bar within the map window allows viewing a map, satellite, or terrain. This is handy for impressions on vegetation zones and the topographic development.
Any point you would like to see a more detailed map of New Zealand just double-click, or use the zoom application, plus and minus, on the left hand site. Zooming far enough in you find even information about the location of companies is shown. The larger view of the map unleashes in some locations the possibility to move the figure on top of the zoom tool to a road to receive an aerial view.
