Want to get some cool aerial shots from the area with -if you wish so- a semi transparent topo map on top of it? Forget Google Earth: Log yourself in to the <STRONG>Vic uni Library databases</STRONG> (if you're student at Vic), choose <STRONG>MapToaster</STRONG> and off you go. It's even possible to spot huts in the Tararuas and on Mt. Taranaki, for example; some tracks are visible, too. However, not all regions are covered by aerials, but for almost all there are Landsat images available - as well as 1:50,000 maps or 1:250,000, respectively. It's even possible to save these maps and print them out. You could get GPS coordinates,&nbsp;as well.&nbsp;Check it out, it's great!
