How big do you want it to be? I did this once for the Kaimais. Used my mapping software skills to create a custom shape/size map at the correct 1:50000 scale and took it to a local printer. Cost me $30 or so, from memory. Such a map for the Ruahines (120km from Manawatu Gorge to Kuripapango) would be 2.4m long.

you can but 1:250000 scale maps, as well as the 1:50000,
Ive still got one of the old NZFS Ruahine maps, use it a lot for planning, wish I could get another, as it very tatty.

i got a preddy big wall to put it on, had some pictures but having the door open keeps knocking them down so thinking of adding a massive map, The link nibblet gave me dose them with laminating but they are pricey

The Mrs got a world map wallpaper made 2.4mx3m for her office that cost us 4hundy a few years ago. Was only 2 rolls, 1.5m wide. The company could use any picture but once its on the wall that's it.

That sounds awesome, you wouldn’t still happen to have a PDF of that would you?

We always had massive maps on the wall of the hangers for the pilots to reference. These were typically made up from the standard NZ Top Maps joined together and glued to a backing board. I've been meaning to do the same here to a blank wall I have... a bit of wallpaper glue and away you go. Can't be that difficult, surely?
