[pchelpers] Local interest:Google puts everywhere in NZ on the map

Google has put street-level maps of all of New Zealand online, launching 
the local version of its popular advertising-based mapping service far 
earlier than some domestic competitors had anticipated.

Google Maps covers the whole country and lists nearly every road, from 
Auckland's Southern Motorway to Pier St in remote Jackson Bay.

Its maps are of comparable quality to those put online by Wellington 
start-up Zoomin and established national mapping firm Wises.
