ummm Nope not Kaitaia...

I thought it would make a good guessing game. But actually I don't know *exactly* where it is, I know that it is somewhere south of franklin. I am trying to add location tags to it in GIS.

A quick question to clarify things....
Are the lines roads and/or rivers and the dark bits are built up areas and/or lakes/foreshore ?

ie, can you give us a couple of quick pointers with what we are looking at.


OH... and is the picture the right way up with north at the top of the frame?

ummm prize, errr ah, I'll give ya a wave and a And a big thank you.

We were sitting there at work looking @ GIS and I couldn't figure out where it was, I didn't really realise that Tauraunga was there... lol I thought we hadn't brought the landbase for as far down as that. You learn something new every day.

Trogg, they were roads, and it was facing up with north.

But that could be a fun game.. I might dig out a picture of my files somewhere and see if people can guess....

*hands out second prize to trogg*



(just another excuse to use it! hahaha)
