I remember reading a while ago a question about where to get NZ atlases without waiting weeks for delivery. Just spent ages looking for the thread but no joy so you got a new thread instead.

We wanted to order the AA Road Map of NZ off the net but told out of print. Then we happened to be in Ottakers in town (a small one at that) and they not only had the AA atlas we were looking for but a good selection of Fold out maps (as opposed to altas type book).

We bought the AA atlas ands the Rough Guide fold out map for about ?15. We looked at all the other fold out maps but the RG one seemed best, esp as on plastic paper therefore waterproof, tearproof and you can write and rub.

Hope this helps those who are planning trips at the mo.

Helen.
