Problems with locations[edit]

There are problems with the latitude and longitude on this map. Plugging in the corrent locations for venues of en:2014_Cricket_World_Cup_Qualifier leaves Maunt Maunganui floating in the Bay of Plenty and Christchurch on the Lewis Pass! Grutness (talk) 05:03, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The map is okay (as you can see in en:Mount Maunganui or en: Christchurch), a |lat_dir=S for southern hemisphere was missing. A minus for southern hemisphere only works with decimal degrees. NNW 11:01, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ah! That would explain it. Thanks! Grutness (talk) 11:46, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Map distorted?[edit]

Outline shape appears quite different when compared to google maps and to google earth satellite view. Perhaps related to map projection? It just looks odd. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 118.93.239.132 (talk) 09:21, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's the projection. NNW 09:59, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Auckland boundaries wrong[edit]

The Auckland region southern boundary is misplaced at both the east and west ends. Refer: Old Current — Korakys (talk) 14:22, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, it's corrected now. NNW 16:06, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent speed. Many thanks. —Korakys (talk) 00:52, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
