as to be found in the map of Hamilton -----
droll as it may be - since when did the Waikato River drop to become a small stream , turn eastwards and become Kirikiriroa Stream?
The Waikato starts south of Taupo, old son :blush:

I see the survey land areas have been added to google earth (I never noticed them before) but not the map data. it would be great to see this data added to google earth as well.

On checking out my house (it's what you do right :) ) I've got an extra road, but the level of detail great.

We need the cool photographs at a higher zoom though...

I will definitely be using it in the future.
