Shalom and greetings all my pals,

Does anybody know where I can find and use extremely well detailed maps of North and South Islands of New Zealand so that I can match to my screenshots showing New Zealand flights please? I am not happy with basic maps of Google maps because I am having HARD time matching specific locations in northern section of North Island of New Zealand to my screenshots.

Any tips to find on Internet any website offering free view or use of extremely well detailed maps of the specific requested geographical areas would be appreciated please so that I can write accurate flight screenshot reports, please.

When I say well detailed, I am referring to names of roads, highways, rivers, lakes, parks etc etc etc

Thanks,

Aharon

Google maps is about it for online use. There is not a lot of anything once you head up the far north.
You can obtain hard copy Visual planning charts such as these:

There is also the Topomap service following which is more for elevation info and some geographic features, may be of use...

Cowpatz, I do not want to spend $$$$ on maps

Deeknow, you have hit in the nail with great find for PERFECT FREE MAP website showing me specific names of beaches, rivers, mountains, lakes, etc etc in northmost area of North Island of New Zealand. Now I can match map locations to my screenshots!!

Once again, thanks to both of you for kind answers.
