Free Download New Zealand Garmin GPS Mapping

If you plan a trip to New Zealand, it’s pretty useful for you to download a (Garmin) GPS mapping for driving. 

The New Zealand Open GPS Maps Project - free autorouting, street number searchable maps of New Zealand for Garmin mapping GPS. The street maps cover the whole of New Zealand with just about every road and street named in the country (except the Chatham Islands). 

These maps are free - do not pay for them - there are scumbag Trademe traders who sell them - they are ripping off the project community by making money off the community’s hard work.

The New Zealand Open GPS Maps project is a collaborative community-driven project based around a forum. Users report issues or bugs and regional mappers pick up the reports and make changes to the source maps. Usually within 24 - 48 hours a revised version of the map is available for download. 

The maps are compiled specifically for the Garmin GPS platform as it is one of the only GPS map formats that have 3rd party mapping tools available.

The detailed information is available from New Zealand Open GPS Maps Project and Nuvi-How-To.
