No idea to be honest, beyond what's shown on the North Island diagram <a href="http://www.linz.govt.nz/topography/projects-programmes/topo50-project/sheets/index.aspx" rel="nofollow">over here</a>, which looks to be about those 4 maps you've named. They're smaller though and the size is more standard, so maybe it'll be easier this way all the same. I'm interested to know what TerraLink will do, since they have <a href="http://www.terralink.co.nz/products_services/maps_charts/map_products/recreational_maps/" rel="nofollow">a popular double-sided park map of the Tararuas</a>. They could probably re-print the same map with the new grid on it if it suited them to do so. I might ask them about it. I stopped using the TerraLink map in favour of LINZ maps a while ago because I kept running into places where they'd written tourist notes over the contour lines I was trying to read (kind of annoying if you're off-track). Maybe I'll ask them at the same time if they'd consider printing a version without so many notes. Hi Adrian.

Do you know how many maps we will need to cover the tararua's? Current nz260 is one double sided print. Linz refer to four sheets BN33-34 & BP33-34. Hi Mike, nice overview and easy to understand.
