10 Benefits of Geospatial Information for New Zealand

What are the benefits of Geospatial Information?

We envision this being a collaborative and iterative approach in order to create the most effective and robust resource that can be shared and promoted through our networks. All materials should be considered as open data, under a CC 4.0 license (Use as you wish).
