We are about to embark on a 2 week mission from the "Mainland" and wish to print all the public fossicking areas marked on pages so we can find them.

If it is possible, how do you do it ?

Zoom in to the detail you want ... click "print screen" and open a word Document or similar and paste.... then edit and crop as desired.

You can use:
http://data.nzpam.govt.n...bmaps?commodity=minerals
Click the Base Maps at the top right corner to change to Linz Topo.
This is great as it has the Claim numbers, if anyone says "you're on my claim" you can ask them what their claim number is (if they're only trying to ward you away from their secret spot). Also great if anyone has a claim, you can say "I know not going to mess with your area - just passing through".

Also:
https://data.linz.govt.nz/
Press + symbol on Property Titles, and + symbol for NZ Topo 50 Maps
Just in case you want to avoid trespassing. A smaller map of this is enough just to give you an idea of where the property titles end & wilderness begins. Keeping in mind that some of the blue is actually Doc Parks or Reserves.
