About nearby results

Nearby calculations stay in this page's memory. Your precise browser location is not stored or added to links. Leaving or reloading clears it. When opened, the map fetches OpenStreetMap tiles for the visible area. Distances are straight-line estimates to reference points, not driving distances, track lengths or verified entrances. Town references are approximate locality centres, not your position. Not a navigation tool. 442 of 648 campsites have checked reference points. Parks without a checked point remain in the directory but cannot match a distance radius. Pine Beach and Promenade Point share an approximate Lake Taharoa point.
