Yeah, they left quite a mess - it was pretty clean before. Don't know what they were eating but they left it everywhere. Admittedly the mud is from me :D
I wanted results which would prioritise things like fiordlandpacks.nz, cactusoutdoor.co.nz and southernlitepacks.co.nz. As you can see, it was only partially successful but I feel like it's still useful.
The source for the filter is https://gist.github.com/fallaciousreasoning/c7d10b8db5449fb62b601ddf111003a3 - let me know if you think there are some NZ based sites I should include.
Oh yeah, the only empty houses are all the AirBnBs (at my weekly rent every night) or lock'n'leaves. Probably 2/3rds of my street is empty most of the time. Rentals can't be had for love or money, we got lucky with ours at the end of covid.
Presumably this is funded by the $15 they charge me every time I drive up the road :D
Yeah exactly - he made it much easier to take the Greens seriously, and he managed to get a fair bit done. One of my favourite politicians, by far.
It downloads the visible area up to a higher zoom level, which should let you zoom/pan around a bit more when you're offline
Some features it supports:
- measuring distance and drawing tracks
- generating elevation profiles (using the LINZ elevation API)
- automatically caches areas you've viewed for offline use
- viewing mountains and routes from https://climbnz.org.nz/mountains
- viewing doc huts
- live weather (scraped from Metservice)

Ah yeah, I actually used to used that one too! Mapy.cz is pretty good too, but their topo maps aren't quite as good as the LINZ ones.
Make sure you look at the area you're going to be in (in https://topos.nz) before trying to use it offline, or everything will be really low res.
Basically, it just caches anything you've looked at, and nothing else :)
If you try and zoom in further than it has cached data, it'll use a lower res version, if it has one.
Glad to hear they're going to open - Whakapapa in particular has some great skiing - that said, it's kind of crazy they managed to run out of money, they're always packed, and the whole North Island skis there.
Sad as! I'm in the South Island but when it's on Whakapapa has some great skiing.
Actually, yes. Looked like they ate quite a bit. There were half eaten chocolates all over the car.
