Thread: Maps for finding spot X

Yup, LINZ Aerial phot is much more detailed. And LINZ Topo 50 also higher res when zooming in on NZTopoMaps App.

Also, after suggesting some improvements to the NZTopoMaps support email, they replied saying they already exist. My phone is android, so can't speak for you weird Apple iOS people, sorry.

Q1. Is it possible to fade the DOC Hunting Permit Overlay blue hatch as you can't really see topo or aerial phot underneath?
A1. When the over lay is on, swipe from the right hand side of the screen, and at the bottom, there is a slider where you can adjust the overlay opacity.

Q2. Is it possible to overlay Topo and Aerial maps and adjust opacity so you can see both?
A2. Go to the main menu > manage layers > (three dot menu top right) > compare maps > two tabs at the top, Map 1 will be whichever layer you have open, e.g. LINZ Topo50. Tab 2/Map 2 select LINZ Aerial Imagery Basemap. This will then open both maps on your screen with an opacity slider, and you can adjust until you can see the aerial with the contours underneath (it doesn't have much other functionality besides that, but still bloody handy!)

Life-changing.

But yes Billbob, then always some hard ground-truthing lessons to follow! I have done exactly the same!

(Tried to upload screenshots of the above steps, but alas, no success. You're all pretty smart, you'll figure it out...)
