| 1415878 | 2016-02-11 21:43:00 | My 50 dollar Chinese GPS has done me good., with loads of features; e.g. point of interests (POI's), compass,coordinates, simulated modes, various, views, etc. But has excluded street name results, if text searching. Though are present on map views. Google Maps does however seem to find them easily. I like how Google maps are synced/or transferred between desktop and mobile for street searches and navigation directions. Important since I travel all over Auckland frequently for Trademe purchases. Now realize now how massive the city road network is. Seems streets, bridges, roundabouts, motorway extensions, or even motorways are added almost weekly. Though Google have added the new driving mode (www.androidpolice.com) lately, and updates (www.androidpolice.com) (including hovering street signs) 2 days ago, they could develop more to include POI's and other info similar to GPS devices. Here's a neat little map site: Infinite Street View (noahveltman.com) |

| 1415879 | 2016-02-11 22:23:00 | Ok, so is it possible to download maps of NZ or Aus that will work on a laptop without any form of outside data input? In other words I just want to use it as you would a paper map. |

Yes, there is an alternative, it is called The New Zealand Travellers Road Atlas, and covers all the NZ towns and cities! It requires no power, never locks up, maps are updated every few years, it has an accurate index, and I've always found it to be reliable. Best of all, it is a Kiwi Company operated by real people.

But sadly it's out of date every 5 minutes in Auckland - with the continual adding roads . . . . |

| 1415885 | 2016-02-13 21:09:00 | As would all GPS systems and Google maps Google maps are surprisingly accurate in my somewhat limited experience. I have been particularly impressed with Google Drive which gives accurate travel times and up to the minute best routes though Auckland traffic. |
