This Rip-Proof Waterproof Map material is fantastic.

Just returned from a four week self drive tour of New Zealand where this Rough Guide Map was used extensively. The map has been folded and re-folded many many times, been rained on, and wind blown but the rip-proof waterproof Polyart material is still as good as new. Its the same material as used for NZ bank notes !
Like any map a few of the fine details are out of date (e.g. un-sealed roads now sealed), but in general this map is to a good scale, is easy to read, and has lots of detail.
If you only buy one sheet map of New Zealand then buy this one. You can then pick up lots of free NZ paper maps, and street plans, when you are out there in NZ at any Information Point or Car Hire office.
Very useful, especially for motorcyclists

Very good detail and easy to read. Excellent for mtorcyclists because you *will* get caught in rain at least once if you ride in NZ for any length of time. This map is waterproof and tough, so won't disintegrate like my last one did when the sky dropped what seemed like the whole of Lake Rotorua on me! It might need a slight update though - for example it still shows some of the Southern Scenic Route (between Ratanui and Niagara) as being an 'unsealed' gravel road, whilst my contact in NZ says it's now all 'sealed' tarmac road (as does my other map book). It is also, like all fold-out maps, quite large and might not be the easiest to use on a pub table or inside a car. Because of that, and because you'll also need city maps, I recommend getting the AA Road Atlas of New Zealand as well (for when it's not raining or you're indoors!).
Perfect map for travelling in a perfect country

I have used this map for two trips around NZ, and will use it again for my third trip later this year as it is still in great condition considering the daily folding and unfolding that you inevitably do as you travel the length and breadth of this fantastic country. As it is small and lightweight it is ideal just to tuck in your suitcase or backpack no need to carry a big bulky map around.
A must for any NZ traveller, at a reasonable price.
Does what it says on the tin

Superb map covering both North and South Islands plus Stewart Island; clear, robust (ours survived a 14 day South Island road trip in a Nissan Pulsar!), easy to stash and a decent price. Highly recommended for anyone heading to the land of the Kiwi.
Informative map
