Do anybody know whether maps are available for New Zealand?

If not, are their any applications similar to TTN3 that support PPC and New Zealand?

Thanks in advance!

I don't think so - they don't have Australia so unlikely they'll have NZ.

You could try Navman - their software is actually developed there so they may have maps for it!

Hi,

I would contact Navman.
SmartST is meant to be available for the first time in New Zealand in
September. The New Zealand maps should now be available from the
Navman Europe office."

Hi,

Has anyone managed to get SmartST New Zealand Maps?
I cannot find them for sale anywhere and neither Navman Europe or Navman NZ bothered to reply to my emails.

Thanks

just to be clear, follow up question about availability in europe...

Referring to my last email we are expecting a late October release
into the NZ market and this is when NZ maps will be available worldwide.

Kind Regards,

I wont hold my breath that date is any more accurate than the previous September one, so are there any routing programs that actually work in NZ *now* for PDA?

I think the answer is "No" but the map the vector map data is available for free from the New Zealand government

I had the NZ maps installed on my Garmin GPS (they weren't official Garmin maps) but the maps weren't great (some of the roads were "paper roads" and didn't actually exist), there was also no autorouting data.

I see they have been updated to allow street searching and they are now for sale at:

http://www.nzgpsmaps.com/

Other than that, I think you will have to wait for Navman.

Hairs et gowan?

I hope to go to NZ next year and I have an iPAQ 3660 with TT3. Same question as you and I came up with this link from a helpful Kiwi:-

http://www.geosmart.co.nz/wa.asp?idWebPage=5460

He said have a look at this page about half way down.

Did you know that Navman is actually manufactured in New Zealand?

Thank you for your enquiry, we are launching Navman product into the NZ market within the next two weeks, however it is still unconfirmed as to whether the maps will be available at the same time as a software only bundle, I should know more within a week or so. Any further enquires please don’t hesitate to contact me.
