Location of visitor centres
Oliver Seiler made this Official Information request to Department of Conservation
The request was successful.
From: Oliver Seiler
Dear Department of Conservation,
Please provide a list of the GPS locations of all visitor centres.
Ideally these coordinates would be added to the Geoportal and the web site. If not please provide in an electronic form, e.g. CSV or other format.
Yours faithfully,
Oliver Seiler

Hi Mike,
I'd like to get the coordinates of the VC's in a reusable form, so that they can be used on other maps, apps or for people to find them using their navigation system. I can see them on 'DOC Maps', but they simply come back as an image as oppose to structural data (http://bit.ly/1yHKZFl).
DOC have listed some hut and camp site coordinates on http://geoportal.doc.govt.nz/geoportal (which seems to be down right now) and also on their web site next to many huts and camp sites.
There is a list of VCs addresses available, but they are often incomplete or don't translate well into an actual position (e.g. West End, Kaikoura).

Hi Oliver. I won't apologise for DOC's OIA response practices, but which geoportal are you referring to? I can already see the Visitor Centres on DOCGIS, at http://www.doc.govt.nz/about-doc/role/ma...
Or are you meaning that you want the exact latitude and longitude of each centre specified?
