Thread: Best peaks/slips/flats parks for glassing? (keen to try this out over bush stalking)

Legal access and land ownership is shown on the walking access NZ web site
set the base map to topo
Here is Otaki Forks
"clear" areas where you can see the contours are private land
One of these squiggly lines is a farm/logging track and the other two are river beds that would have had farmable flats. In most places river beds are public land but not quite all.
magenta is public roads (not all formed, some just legal "paper roads")
Light green is Reserve. Check if your DoC hunting permit covers it. Sometimes you can get a permit.
The dull green is standard Doc land, generally covered by a hunting permit.

Thank you very much. Its quite similar to the DOC maps but you can overlay everything which now means I do not have to go back and forth between the DOC maps and Google earth. So lets take Raukumara, if I stick to the public/doc identified on this mapping system, I will avoid pissing anybody off by straying across Iwi land or private blocks?

Still having a go with the tool to see how I can use it. Do a lot of people use it when out and about? I sold my Garmin handheld. Im wondering what the best map would be to use via GPS on your phone? In saying that the better half has tough tablets for their GIS work so I could "borrow" one of those. I will always carry a printed map and compass however.
