### 4/5 — Update

*2024-12-21, version 3.0*

Excellent App but how do you update to include for example the new motorways Puhoi to Warkworth ?

### 5/5 — Map app reborn!

*2017-10-15, version 2.0*

Big ups for the update, working great with iOS 11. And thanks for the support informing me of the update.

### 5/5 — Great while it was current

*2016-06-04, version 1.26*

I purchased both the North and South Island apps, and found them helpful. It all worked well. But now the maps are out of date, and the supplier does not appear to offer updates. From now on I will use IhikeGPSNZ which supplies free, up to date maps, allows tracks and waypoints - a much more comprehensive solution.

### 2/5 — Older version less buggy

*2014-05-23, version 1.26*

This version is too buggy which is a shame as I have come to rely on this app in so many situations (always take hard copy & compass). It never remembers your last zoom location and reverts out to the entire island on each launch. This never happened on the old version. Have to re-launch the app several times for the map to work properly. Look forward to a more stable version!

### 2/5 — Map app nz

*2013-11-21*

Very disappointed. No street names, at least for Cambridge and Hamilton. No indication of bicycle or waking trails. Would be a great buy for $.99 but way too much for $16. It is good for major roads. Pressing the I key does not work.

### 1/5 — MapApp NZ North Island

*2013-08-20, version 1.25*

I have the same prob as Larry...hope it gets sorted real quick

### 1/5 — Don't upgrade till he's fixed it.

*2013-08-15, version 1.25*

This was a pretty good map app (although it didn't zoom in far enough) until he put out an upgrade. I naturally downloaded the upgrade only to find that the app now shuts down as soon as I've opened it. So if you want to pay $20 for an app that won't work on iPad 2 go ahead and buy this one.

### 2/5 — Almost

*2013-05-16, version 1.21*

Needs greater zoom detail.

### 4/5 — Topo brilliance

*2012-08-26, version 1.21*

Worth every cent. Quick location pinpointing and quick map/tile loading. Recommendations for next version: another zoom level and compass integration.

### 4/5 — John

*2012-03-01*

Thank you ,found this ideal in New Zealand on holiday in 2012
 Could do with regular updates please .
