During its 30 years in circulation, the AA Road Atlas has been constantly revised and updated. Demand has been so great that is has been reprinted over 20 times. What hasn't changed is the attention to detail; an accuracy that motorists can rely on. This 2007 edition is easy to read and easy to use. It includes a location index, distance charts, time charts, road rules and driving advice.Atlas maps include: Main highways, mountains, historic buildings, walkways, secondary roads, thermal areas, airports, forest parks, distances, national parks, golf courses, rivers, motor camps, ski fields and picnic areas.Town maps include: One-way streets, hospitals, toilets, police, car parks, and information offices.The first road map published by the Automobile Association, a hand-drawn sketch of Auckland, was issued to Members in 1924. Fifty years later, the Association published the first AA Road Atlas of New Zealand. Today, the Association's mapping techniques have advanced considerably. From pen and ink to photolithographic techniques, cartographers now draw on state-of-the-art technology to create detailed definition. Terrain detail is created via enhancements such as computer-generated hill shading. This gives the motorist a realistic impression of the topography they will encounter along the road.
