The topographic maps were developed by Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) with Topo50 being the official topographic map series used by New Zealand emergency services.

The application provides valuable information about how topographic data is utilized across various sectors like defence planning for military exercises and international collaboration. Additionally, it is instrumental in location services for Search and Rescue operations as well as by entities like ambulance services and police departments. Moreover, this information aids in land management strategies employed by local governments and utility companies.

All topographic maps feature additional labels for enhanced readability at higher zoom levels and are rendered with Atlogis® hillshading to accentuate the terrain.

Topo Map Coverage includes New Zealand and surrounding islands at scales 1:50,000 and 1:250.000; Cook Islands at scale 1:25.000; Tokelau Islands at scale 1:25.000.
