A Pair of Corrections to Maps

Thu, 8 Nov 2007 18:07:09 -0700

pg 24: The highway connecting SH12 and SH1 (near Whangarei) should read SH14 and not SH19.

pg 216-217: In the callout box on page 216, the text beneath the "52 Milford Sound Waterfalls" should read "(including Bowen Falls)" and not "(including Bown Falls)".
Beneath the green dotted lines (squiggling beneath "Humboldt Falls" and "32"), the text should read "Routeburn Track" and not "Routenburn Track".
