seamed to work ok for me.... some of the maps in my area now have quite a lot less green on them :wtfsmilie:
Have they tarmac'd them perhaps? Make a nice car park for the trampers and tourists?Quote:

That's a bit crap - they think the place is popular so they close it for 'safety reasons'
It was only a small patch of bush that a few goats lived in and the odd deer past through but was close to me... hardly went there but it was an option for a walk. another the map doesn't even go over that area any more (map covers a smaller area now) but I guess the pouching problems on the surrounding farmland is why that was dropped of....wish I had saved the original map to print and take with me :PQuote:

just had a go at updating mine and it wad working ok, but I didn't have my permit number on hand to go next page
I got the same page not found message on my work computer all week when trying to get a new permit. I then tried it on my smart phone and it worked fine. I'm no IT expert but it could the type or version of web brouser on my work computer that was the issue.
What legal standing do the online maps have ?
There are quite a few more reserves and such like shown on the DoC boundaries map at Koordinates Koordinates - the one place for geodata and the walking access map site NZ Walking Access Mapping System than on the DoC permit site Hunting permit: Permits and licences Since the DoC .jpg were such low resolution and difficult to read, I preferred the others but they seem to have improved a lot now. I can load the Koordinates boundaries into my GPS if I want (anyone who needs instructions sing out).
Here is the answer from the DoC site above:
Restricted area hunting permits
If the area that you want to hunt is on public conservation lands, but isn't one of the open hunting areas, then it will either be a restricted or prohibited area.
Restricted areas will have extra requirements for hunting within them and include blocks that must be booked all year (e.g. Stewart Island coastal blocks).
You get permits for restricted areas from the DOC office that manages hunting in the restricted area. You can not get them online.
You can obtain a hunting permit or further information for a restricted area from:
DOC visitor centres
DOC area offices (contact info is linked here)
Also, I see there are special small game permits available now. Has anyone here used them yet ?
Overall I think the permit system is way better than it was 2 years ago.
Personally I liked the old system. Ring em talk to a human.Two days later a nice waxy card arrived in the mail that would last in your bum bag twice as long as it was valid for rain or shine. Now I have to print my own and they are rooted in half an hour. Not to mention the interweb issues I allways seem to have.:roll:
The permit site worked fine for me on IE this evening.
It would be good if the essential info (permit number, dates, areas, hunter's name, etc.) were all in credit card sized section of the form that you could cut out, laminate, leave in your first aid kit and forget about it. I print a big pile of them and take a fresh one each time.
Just tryed it again still dont work
As Mark M said, it may be the version of your web browser. I can't open the site from work, with IE 7, but at home, with Chrome and whatever version I have of IE, not a problem.Quote:

Hi Vietnamcam,
I've had my share of uncooperative web sites at times so this is the school of hard knocks speaking. Apologies if these are a bit simple, but here are some ideas I've used at times:
Totally exit all programs and switch off computer then back on. Make sure its not set to reopen previous windows. You can get a list of what's running in MS Windows by pressing CTRL ALT DEL and looking at applications then kill them one by one (great fun).
Set browser to accept a few cookies and allow popups. Often the crucial instruction is in a pop up I've blocked. Usually you can allow popups or cookies from just sites you want. An obscure message may appear in a toolbar somewhere asking you if you will allow an exception. Also try clearing all old cookies. Usually you can control these through control panel>internet>security or a settings app in mac rather than in the browser but look in both.
Update Java and adobe flash player or allow them to do it spontaneously. A naughty trojan has been around the past week and my flash committed harikiri. it looks as if patches have come out . Also, update your browser (updates for firefox arrived tonight).
Preferably, use firefox which you can get free. Also go to google site and download and install their browser, chrome. It works really well and its good to have two alternatives you can choose from, with separate history and bookmarks. If you use Internet Explorer, all the best !
Try someone else's computer and in 4 months the problem will probably have gone away.
Remember: "Computers are chaotic" and "users are never wrong - software is just insufficiently helpful".
Bagheera
Thanks for that will try.
Just had the same problem. Firefox 11 is a box of poos, I got my online permit fine before and then upgraded firefox, then some weird error message which didn't make sense. After a lot of farting around I tried with interweb explorer and it worked fine. Went through the work computer drama a while ago, as it requires a secure connection the work computer spat the dummy.
Got Kiwi Greg to do me one:thumbsup:
