Try this place, grid reference 5180314N 1569211E
I think he might have been looking for somewhere in the Southern Hemisphere Stu.
They aren't latitude longitude, they are NZMS topo 50 grid referenceQuote:

Gotta love this shit eh! Suggest you join in with the other thread re guides, theres plenty there that will help you out........................for a price. Or you could read some of the Forum rules, go to the intro section, introduce yourself, establish a bit of a rep as a good bastard. And then somebody might be interested in helping you out. Plenty of us do, plenty of us have, but right now we dont know you from a bar of soap.

Thanks for your words of infinite wisdom Cyclops, but neither a position given as a latitude and longitude nor one given as an NZMS grid reference have anything whatsoever to do with gps.
Thanks that just wasted another 5 mins of my life.Quote:

My point, which you only partially understood, was that many don 't know the difference between a northing-easting and lat-long coordinate systems as they have only used a GPS system.
You, @Sauer, are correct the northing-easting need reference to a location.
It was an additional point that I didn't make because that wasn't relevant to my post. Thanks for your post.
And of course there are more technical details around the use of lat-long, GPS, coordinate systems that I did not mention either because they weren't relevant too.
For those struggling with the topo grid reference, here are the lat long -43.529198 172.618732
And for those still using lats and longs remember that SAR teams work with nztm.Quote:

Watch the NZ Hunter series, particularly the one where he takes his wife hunting. That general area (North Canterbury, from the Waimakiri up to the Lewis) is as good a place as any to start in the Sth Is. Enjoy, there are enough deer for everyone, and those who work hard will reap the rewards (usually, but thats hunting)
Should add, if you haven't hunted in the Sth Is yet, its best to go with someone and not be too ambitious, it might take a couple of trips to get really proficient - the Southern Alps and especially its rivers, are not that forgiving of poor preparation or haste.
I heard all the stags in Canterbury had gone into self isolation on the west coast :thumbsup:
Nah I think it’s the other way round, those sneaky Coasters have been out tonging them up and chased them over the hill. :thumbsup:Quote:
