Vector maps are displayed on the fly from a database of map features. These maps scale nicely, are clear at any resolution and contain multiple layers of feature names appropriately sized to the displayed resolution. They rotate nicely and names flip to a readable orientation. Map databases are based on up to date official data obtained from Land Information New Zealand and the Department of Conservation. The topographic maps are rendered with colours similar to traditional topographic maps. The property maps are rendered with custom colors. The property map shows public property in the green / blue areas (Conservation or local body) and yellow areas (public roads). You can easily see if you are currently on private or public land.

Most other mapping apps use raster data but our map data is more compact than raster data:

Topographic maps: 1.2 GB
Property maps: 0.5 GB
