May 2015 Topographic Data Release Notes
This release comprises selected updates to 10 Topo250 sheets; and selected updates for 18 Mainland Topo50, 1 Campbell Island Topo50, and 1 High-Vis Topo50 sheet. A total of 30 sheets updated.
The titles for the selected updates in this release were driven by two main factors, sheets with changes to geographic board names, and titles where stocks of the paper maps were running low.
We aim to print only new editions of paper maps; where stock predictions and data availability permit, the sheet will undergo a HighVis update, and at minimum selected key features will be updated.
More gridless maps released
Gridless raster map images were published on the LINZ Data Service in recent releases for NZ Topo50, NZ Topo250, Chatham Island Topo250, Cook Islands, Niue, and Tokelau.
Gridless raster maps have now also been published for Chatham Island Topo50, NZ Offshore Islands, and Antarctica.
More Relief Shading layers released
Relief Shading images were published on the LINZ Data Service in 2011 for NZ Topo50 and NZ Topo250.
Relief Shading images have now also been published for NZ Offshore Islands, Cook Islands, Niue, and Tokelau.
Schema changes
Cattle stops have been a legacy feature for some time. As from this release, all have been removed from the dataset and this layer no longer exists.
With the implementation of the Topo Feature ID’s in the March 2015 release and the continuation of these ID’s in the May 2015 release, the LDS changeset service now includes Topo50 data.
Although Topo50 changesets are available between the December 2014 and March 2015 releases, these are not representative of actual changes due to refinement of the ID assignment process.
Topographic Data Dictionary changes
Nil; however a future update is proposed to include documentation of the Topo Feature ID, the new attribute rna_sufi, removal of the cattle stop page to a legacy features section, and other minor changes.
Details regarding the entire history of changes are available for:
