I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  2. Enable your Topo maps for GPS Visualizer (https://www.gpsvisualizer.com)

    GPS Visualizer is a nice tool for providing an interface to Leaflet. It can reference a subset of tile sources that can be dynamically swapped in and out. I see "Topo (CalTopo)" on the list, but not your material (which looks much more useful for me). Any idea what's involved to let GPS Visualizer use your maps?

  4. Multi-page PDF map prints

    Print a series of continuous map sheets to A4 size that can be used together to cover a larger area, rather than requesting pages larger than A4.

    Useful when the available printer is only able to print up to size A4 at the largest.

  5. Add some options to know the percentage of the slope

    Add some options to know the percentage of the slope for avalanche risk preparation. Using details/info in an itinerary between two premarked points; or using a popup info between two currently touched points(on the add only); or using a specific basic slope map colored by steepness.

  7. Order customised printed maps

    Similar to the UK's Ordnance Survey service - https://shop.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/custom-made/

    Larger wall sized map orders would also be a great option.

  8. update track STATUS every month, especially newly opened and closed tracks using DOC notices.

    Update the status ( open (-----), closed (--X--X--X), damaged (--xxxx--) )
    of all DOC tracks. Use DOC notices or just scrape from DOC maps.

    e.g. https://www.doc.govt.nz/map/index.html?banner=0&layerlist=0&base=Topo&layers=Campsites,Huts,All%20tracks&extent=1845446.99491999,5843151.833545,2193,7&search=Huts:100039054

  9. Merge map with LINZ NZ632 Sea Chart

    Merge the LINZ nz632 sea chart (https://www.linz.govt.nz/sea/charts/paper-charts/nz632) with your 1:50 topo map of Banks Peninsula?
    We want the depth and water detail of the sea chart but the land detail of the topo.

  10. Allow zoom on permalinks

    I'd find it useful to allow parameters on Permalinks
    e.g. https://www.topomap.co.nz/NZTopoMap/nz43535/TARARUA-RANGE/Wellington&z=12
    currently this URL produces an error message

  11. Complete the spelling change from 'Rimutaka' to 'Remutaka'

    As far as I can see all previous uses of "Rimutaka" on the topomap have, appropriately, been changed to "Remutaka", following the Geographic Board's decision of October 2017.

    To complete this change you need to update the searchable list of feature names, which still has multiple occurrences of "Rimutaka" and none of "Remutaka"

  13. Improve the search

    Improve the search so when I enter say "murphy" it finds "murphys" etc
    e.g. murphy is the equivalent of murphys* (string plust wildcard).

    Alternatively allow users to specify wildcards

  14. Provide sorting options for the Search Results

    Its not clear how or why the search results returned are ordered.
    I'd like to suggest some options be provided.
    1) closeness to location shown on map currently displayed
    2) strict alphabetically
    3) north to south or vice versa)
    and possibly a filter, e.g. restrict to region.

  15. include a 'pen' button

    include a 'pen' button that, once pressed, allows you to draw a route on a map in a separate 'layer' which could then be saved or shared with others. Also distance could be calculated - either based on topography (if possible) or as the crow flies.

  18. Add to the API the ability to specify the layer and the transparency

    Add to the API the ability to specify the layer and the transparency.
    e.g.
    &layer=aerial
    &tp=50 (percent).

  19. OSX Apple iPhone App

    Such a great resource should be available for iphones too! I would use this a lot, especially with the offline availability. And yes I'm well aware of map toaster, but the overlays with aerial and satellite imagery is game changer.

  20. Support locations via what3words

    Support indexing via what3words. This is an brilliant indexing system for the entire world where each 3x3m location can be indexed via 3 words. For example, the ChristChurch Cathedral can be located using "loaf.reason.closed"; much easier to say than "-43.5309188,172.6371539"

    This location cane be shown on a map using the url http://w3w.co/loaf.reason.closed

    I think two features would be really useful here:
    * Display the what3words location of the cursor in the Coordinates menu.
    * Provide an alternate URL scheme to allow the w3w address to be added to allow embedding, links etc.

    From the what2words website:

    what3words is a really…
