GPX file

The GPX file is a planning aid. It contains places associated with the Culinary quests and is intended to help walkers find or investigate those places. Not every GPX point is directly on the Te Araroa trail, and not every place is guaranteed to be currently open, available, affordable, or officially endorsed. Check current hours, access, transport, bookings, conditions, and local information before setting out.

Offline use

The PDF is intended to work without a signal once downloaded. The GPX file requires a compatible mapping or navigation app and may require separate offline-map setup.
