I guess because we always have to deal with horrible anti-meridian problems, I've become used to looking out for it. Nokia maps completely ignores them too :(<br /><br />There are about a 1,000 people who live there, and they're reasonably sized islands (a little smaller than Steward Island to the south). The Auckland Islands further south are significant too, but again, they're commonly ignored and uninhabited.<br /><br />No, doesn't look like there is a 1:500,000 version. I'll ask them if they'll put one together :)<br /><br />HamishHamishhttp://polemic.net.nznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4741970181714760187.post-87288826997283255722012-09-24T10:00:02.507+01:002012-09-24T10:00:02.507+01:00Hi Hamish,

Do you know if the same dataset is available at 1:500,000 scale? I couldn't find island polygons for lower resolutions at the LINZ Data Portal, so the one I'm using is converted from a line dataset using QGIS. <br />Bjørn Sandvikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16080335362672606377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4741970181714760187.post-73831559869254446552012-09-24T00:28:19.653+01:002012-09-24T00:28:19.653+01:00Hey Bjørn, it was great to catch up with you brief...Hey Bjørn, it was great to catch up with you briefly while you were in Auckland. Are you going to have time to stop by to try some more local IPAs? :P<br /><br />Great looking map! I noticed however that you're missing a few offshore islands. LINZ have a combined polygon layer here, that you should be able to drop in as a replacement for the mainland and island polys:<br /><br />http://data.linz.govt.nz/#/layer/1153-nz-coastlines-and-islands-polygons-topo-150k/<br /><br />Includes notably missing island groups like the Chathams.Hamishhttp://polemic.net.nznoreply@blogger.com
