1. This map is useless if you plan on driving the North and South Islands. You are better off picking up free maps when you get there.



2. I am using this map a lot- my friends say that I overthink things but I have 12 days on the ground to cram all that I can into- Not to mention covering LOTS of ground to cover. This map has been vital to planning my trip. I have not yet had the experience to tell you if it was accurate or not, but soon I will be able to tell you exactly how many miles are in an inch of this map.....and have photos of every one of them!



3. This map is an absolute waste of money. I didn't open it once
   during my 3 weeks in New Zealand. The country map has roads on
   it, but no markings indicating the road name or number - try
   finding your way around without that information sometime.
   You can get much better maps for free in New Zealand. If you
   rent a car, they'll likely give you a good map with the rental
   (at least Budget did). Jason's and AA (their version of AAA)
   also put out free maps that you can pick up at the airport,
   information centers, hotels, and various other places.

1. I recently bought my first copy of this book in the Auckland airport. I ordered my second copy for a friend. In addition to being a beautiful "picture book" with photos the quality that I wish I had taken while there, this book provides extensive text with factual information on most aspects of life in New Zealand ranging from the land and its climate, its fauna and flora to its history and the quality of life there today. This is a great book for anyone planning a visit or wishing to recall the special beauties of this wonderful country after returning from a visit. Or you may "visit" this country through this book. It is a very up-to-date publication, we even recognized photos of some of the same Maori performers we saw in concert during our recent visit! This is a very comprehensive publication, I think that it is outstanding!



2. I've been searching for a book other than a tourist's guide to New Zealand to learn more about my husband's home country. This is the book! Filled with lots of relevant (and recent) information, including gorgeous photos, this book is amazing. I can't wait to visit this beautiful country with him and see it for myself!
