I think I mentioned a while ago that I was having problems with my external HDD. I used it to store Ortho4XP files and the torrents for the South Island. It got a bit weird on me but seemed to… Read More ›

NZ Ortho: North Island Update!
I’ve released the first update of the North Island. This is for the region below: I should also mention, I’ve removed links to the rest of the North Island now, which is the older beta release that required converting the… Read More ›
Down the cost from Raglan
I haven’t had too much time to do much over the past couple of days. But here’s a quick look at the coast just south of Raglan. There’s some weird banding and colours that I didn’t like. Here’s the after:

LINZ has been making some changes and released some new aerial photography for Northland and other spots around the country. This was badly needed as the area was unusable. Here’s what it look liked before, and why I couldn’t use… Read More ›
