NZTopoOnline data update - now expected later this year

The Version 15 data update is now likely to happen later this year.

This is later than originally communicated, as this release includes a software upgrade which has required additional time to complete. A confirmed release date will be posted on this web page soon.

The key changes are:

• Customers who use the Custom Extract function will notice changes in the version 15 data with the removal of boundary, seed and void layers.
• NZTopoOnline customers will select a new Chatham Islands option, which uses the Chatham Islands Transverse Mercator (CITM2000) projection, rather than being included in the mainland New Zealand (NZTM2000) option.
• The Offshore Islands will be removed from the "New Zealand & offshore islands NZTM2000" option, although customers will still be able to view the Offshore Islands on NZGD2000, unprojected. At a later stage LINZ intends to move the offshore islands to their own Transverse Mercator projections and enable individual offshore islands to be accessed via their own button.

Reinstating the Web Map Service (WMS) connection is planned as part of the next update.
