Right O - that was easy

Thanks to Mr Purple - whoever you are..

If you have a modern Garmin - I have a Rino 650

About half way is a post starting

With the kind permission of MrPurple and LINZ I have created 3 separate mapsets from the v12.2 Topos for direct use on current model Garmin GPS units and BaseCamp.

Coverage is mainland NZ only.

Download your choice from the links below.
If the NZ Open Autorouting mapset is also enabled street level autorouting will (I mean should) work perfectly with any combination of the 3 Topo mapsets.



This is what I did - your on your own of course !!
Simply download them
UnZip them
Use a Mirco SD Card in the Garmin (in case it all goes pear shape - you can pull out the card) - i.e. plug the Rino into the computer via USB
Copy the files to a folder on the SD Card called Garmin

Bingo - Whole country topo maps
