NZTM grid
NewTopo maps utilise the New Zealand Transverse Mercator projection, are GPS compatible, and show a one-kilometre grid and a ten or fifteen-minute geographic graticule.
NZTM "user-defined projection" details for GPS users:
Origin: 173º East. 0º South. Central scale factor 0.9996
Datum: NZ Geodetic Datum 2000. GPS users should use WGS84.
Grid: False Northing 10 000 000mN. False Easting 1 600 000mE
Note: Some hand GPS units do not have enough digits to enter the full Northing value. Enter 9 999 999.9mN
North: Magnetic North is slightly different on each map.
