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 message1 vote -
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.1 vote -
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.

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.4 votes -
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"

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

Guru Maps app integration (for offline geo-tracking, etc.)
Guru Maps is a third party mapping application that can use any map source (with the proper integration file).
Creating a Guru Maps .ms (map source) file would allow NZ Topo Maps to be loaded into Guru Maps. This would add the following functionality instantly:
- offline map use (downloadable map)
- live geo-tracking offline
- gpx file generation (log/save/export)
- importing of gpx/kml/kmz layers over NZ Topo Map
- as-the-crow-flies distance measurement between any two points
- saving of pins (in collections)
- alternating between NZ Topo and other map sources with the same data layers still intact…

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.7 votes -

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.

Permanent Points Of Interest
For 'adventurers' being able to say, login to topomaps nz and being able to place markers at points of interest that you can always come back and refer to at a later date would be amazing. I myself am a photographer and the option to place markers at a potential spot would be an immense addition for many people who use this service.
Cheers

Easy searchable link to the Harper Pinnacles
Often during "Peninsula Tramping Club" trips to this area we visit the HARPER PINNACLES. This is a popular formation up the Harper River (true Right) from the Avoca River confluence.

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.

Include Street names in search.
Currently Street names cannot be searched for. For example Scotts Road and Mangatarere Valley Road are used to access the Tararuas. But you can't find them to plan your drive to the road end.
I suggestion that street names be added to the search, but optionally, so you might have to click a box to include street names into the search.7 votes -
