How topographic information is used

Defence planning: New Zealand's defence forces use topographic information for planning military exercises and swapping information with international partners.

Location and routing: Search and Rescue, defence, ambulance, fire service, police and civil defence agencies use topographic information in a wide range of planning and operational situations, from natural disasters to community policing. Usage may involve mobile/field and control room situations, and the combination of topographic information with other data.

Land management: Topographic information is used by local government for regional planning and operations, and by power, gas and telecommunications companies.

In addition, LINZ maps are used for a great variety of purposes by businesses and government departments such as the Department of Conservation, and by recreational users such as trampers and tourists.

All topographic maps have additional labels for better readability at higher zoom scales. Maps are rendered with Atlogis® hillshading to enhance topography.
