Man, that's a sick shot!

Thanks man, glad you like it! It's all open source if you want to have a look? https://github.com/fallaciousreasoning/topo

The website works offline too, but I've been playing with making a native wrapper on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nz.topos.twa

Yeah, they left quite a mess - it was pretty clean before. Don't know what they were eating but they left it everywhere. Admittedly the mud is from me :D

Hey mate, agree with the sentiment but the analogy is maybe a bit strong.

Hope it's all good - did mine (pretty mildly) this time last year and it was easily 4 or 5 months before it felt back to normal.

Take it easy!

How'd you pull that off?

If you feel like a walk, Waimak Falls hut in Arthur's Pass is one of my favorites. It's a bit of a walk to get there though.

Barker Hut, up the other side is also lovely.

Apart from the distance they're both pretty easy to get to.

Alternatively you could head over to the West Coast, Welcome Flat Hut is pretty stunning, and their are natural hot pools which are pretty amazing.

Actually, yes. Looked like they ate quite a bit. There were half eaten chocolates all over the car.

Some features it supports:

• measuring distance and drawing tracks
• generating elevation profiles (using the LINZ elevation API)
• automatically caches areas you've viewed for offline use
• viewing mountains and routes from https://climbnz.org.nz/mountains
• viewing doc huts
• live weather (scraped from Metservice)

Hey mate you make some good points, but you're coming across pretty strong here - do you reckon you could tone it down a little: https://lemmy.nz/post/63098

Oh yeah, the only empty houses are all the AirBnBs (at my weekly rent every night) or lock'n'leaves. Probably 2/3rds of my street is empty most of the time. Rentals can't be had for love or money, we got lucky with ours at the end of covid.

Pretty exciting - be a nice change to the current system where we all vote for who we want to be in charge and then Winston Peters decides :D

In this case, it isn't the government spending the money though - it's a lobbying group for the agricultural industry.

It downloads the visible area up to a higher zoom level, which should let you zoom/pan around a bit more when your offline

Yeah exactly - he made it much easier to take the Greens seriously, and he managed to get a fair bit done. One of my favourite politicians, by far.

Sad as! I'm in the South Island but when it's on Whakapapa has some great skiing.

We didn't get any of the Roads of National Significance :/

Glad to hear they're going to open - Whakapapa in particular has some great skiing - that said, it's kind of crazy they managed to run out of money, they're always packed, and the whole North Island skis there.

Ah yeah, I actually used to used that one too! Mapy.cz is pretty good too, but their topo maps aren't quite as good as the LINZ ones.

Make sure you look at the area you're going to be in (in https://topos.nz) before trying to use it offline, or everything will be really low res.

Funnily enough, that's exactly why I was digging in to it
