Note that you can also install New Zealand satellite maps to your Garmin using via Birdseye.
And it’s easy – little computing knowledge and no software required, and I didn’t need to buy a micro SD card to store them on as they can be saved directly to the device. I’m glad I did, as I’ve found a way of adding New Zealand Topo 50, 1:50,000 scale, maps to my Garmin device for free. Hunting isn’t my thing and I wanted to find out the existing map’s limitations before I paid for an upgrade, so I declined. I bought the Garmin 66i from Hunting & Fishing, and the lad at the counter recommended I bought the TopoGPS4 map for $80 that added more detail, including DOC hunting boundaries. The device came with NZ ‘TopoActive’ maps pre-installed, but they’re not particularly detailed and aren’t that great for navigation. Like many New Zealanders, one concern I had on choosing this Garmin was the support for New Zealand maps. I love the outdoors, I love gadgets (particularly those linked to survival), and I mostly hike solo or with my 7 year old, so having something that my wife could track when I have no phone signal – not to mention a two-way SOS communication – was a no-brainer for me. I recently bought a Garmin GPSMAP 66i gps device.
