← Customer Feedback for NZ Topo Map

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.

  1. 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:

  4. 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

  6. Offer a paid option to suppress the 'you're running an ad blocker' popup

    I have an adblocker running and I'd prefer to leave it on since I print maps off the website and like not having an ad in those printed maps.

    I'm also conscious that I'm depriving you of revenue so have thrown money at your givealittle page.

    I'd like to suppress the 'you're running an adblocker' popup. It'd be great if you could add functionality to sell me a licence key or whatever, that disabled the popup. I reckon a good portion of your adblocked audience would pay $10 to $20 for such a key.

    Win-win I reckon. But I'd probably…

  7. 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

  14. Include directional arrows on routes. Very handy when referencing tracks which are tight and complicated.

    Simplify adding a POI. Many times while hunting I want to quickly mark a spot. Would be handy to do with 1 hit, like I can do on my boat gps?

  16. 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.

  18. Subscription option to remove ads and provide personalised user space

    For a small fee of maybe $25 / year a user can login to remove ads and get access to a personalised space with "my locations" for bookmarking locations and "my uploads" for hosting KML, GPX, etc. files on the site directly that can be private or shared.

    If I was to offer a paid option I think I'd like to provide a bit more value for $10 / $10 a year. Perhaps a "my places" for bookmarking locations and "my uploads" for adding kml / gpx files, with the option of making the files shareable. I think I'll add…

    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.
