About The NZTM Projection

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, varying between 18º East and 25º East of True North. 
The magnetic variation one year after map publication is shown on each map.

Further information on the datum and projection is available on the Land Information New Zealand website: www.linz.govt.nz
