Find your way
In addition to the TA Official Guide books we recommend you use a GPS with the full Tour Aotearoa route as it allows you to focus on the sights and sounds of the journey.

GPS files sliced into more, smaller parts
If you are using an old GPS unit or one with a small memory capacity you may be able to use these routes sliced into smaller parts:
http://www.kennett.co.nz/maps/tour-aotearoa/files/parts/ or
http://www.kennett.co.nz/maps/tour-aotearoa/files/parts/individual-GPX-files/
After clicking on the link above you need to follow these instructions though:
Windows users - "Right-click" on the GPS file links with your mouse and "Save Link As".
Mac user - Click on the GPS file links, and "Download Linked File As". (If you use "Download Linked File" instead, it will append the file with a *.txt extension, which will mean it won't recognize the file as a GPS route.)
