Geodetic context in New Zealand

New Zealand's national mapping agency maintains the official geodetic network used for cadastral and engineering surveys. Coordinates shown on this page are expressed in WGS84 (ETRF/ITRF-compatible) which is directly usable in most modern GNSS receivers. For cadastral work in New Zealand you may need to convert to the local datum using the Coordinate Hub.
