Physical Map of New Zealand

For many visitors coming to New Zealand is a once in a life time event. Weeks and sometimes months are spent planning a route if the intention is an independent tour.

In my experience even well prepared and a tight schedule still sometimes demand for adjustments. A good way to go about this is to mix free resources with an informative road atlas. View and order the selection of free booklets and maps here.

They set an updated foundation on interesting sights and events. While the road atlas as a tool connects locations beforehand. Distance indications are available sizes of cities and towns and interesting sights, scenic routes and look-outs are marked as well as amenities like post-shops, restrooms ambulance, and churches, picnic areas, camp grounds, reserves and many things more.

All in all a road map is a key requisite for independent and efficient day to day travel planning.

Knowing gives the chance to freedom and self control, to plan your entire route or on a day to day basis, allows getting side tracked, or simply changing plans if something catches your attention to spend additional time.

The following are two popular road atlases. For our journey we had chosen the Kiwi Pathfinder New Zealand Travellers Road Atlas and were very happy with it. The slimmed version is the Kiwi Minimap a New Zealand Compact Travellers Atlas.
