What is Pocket Maps? 

Pocket Maps allows you to view public access areas and conservation land all across Aotearoa - right from your device, anytime and anywhere. Maps can be viewed online with a Wi-Fi connection or downloaded to be viewed offline.

How does it work?

Pocket Maps lets you search your exact location by region and through the map layers, understand what type of access land you are currently on or looking to walk, hunt, fish or mountain bike across. 

The maps are split into regions and available to be downloaded to use offline.  

App features include: 

  • Public access area viewing 
  • Offline capability 
  • GPS positioning  
  • Draw and measure routes  

The public access areas layer contains  

  • NZ road parcels  
  • Reserve land

  • Esplanade reserves 
  • Easements
