The 1:500000 are the Waikato/Manawatu and Canterbury and the 1:250000 are Wellington and Marlborough (Also covers Nelson) I also have a really old one dated 2000 that goes from Masterton down to Ashburton. 1:500000

I'm sure my Dad could do it at his office, they don't have printers, they have machines! I'll find out..

Otherwise some printing place should be able too..

You'll need a plotter to print that size for all .. reason and thought the A4 easy for desktop ? ..... looked at an A3 printer few years back , over the top for cost , A2 .. heck s only a Laser plotter for colour , but chasing tail again .. just requires person with equip and time . unsure.gif trust me .. if ya folding/unfolding ya map ya going to get sick ok that quik .... if in A4 .. have a 60 sheet Clearfile for each sector smile.gif

I have a 1:500000 VNC chart for Auckland on my wall next to my computer- flip it over and there is the Central Platau region on the back. It's pretty cool when I'm listing to VFR traffic on my scanner and can see the location of the aircraft I am hearing!
