NZGD2000 / UTM zone 1S – EPSG:5700.
What is NZTM2000?
New Zealand Transverse Mercator 2000 (NZTM2000) is the projection used for New Zealand’s Topo50 1:50,000 and other small scale mapping. Spatial data users are encouraged to use NZTM2000 where a projection is required within mainland New Zealand.
What are the coordinates for New Zealand?

New Zealand/Coordinates
How do you get Eastings and Northings?
Eastings are written before Northings. Thus in a 6 digit grid reference 123456, the Easting component is 123 and the Northing component is 456, i.e. if the smallest unit is 100 metres, it refers to a point 12.3 km east and 45.6 km north from the origin.
What is NZTM?
In 2001 Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) adopted New Zealand Transverse Mercator (NZTM or NZTM2000) as the new standard coordinate system for general mapping in New Zealand. This coordinate system is gradually replacing New Zealand Map Grid (NZMG).
What makes New Zealand unique?
New Zealand is one of the most gorgeous countries on earth, and even with its modest size, it packs a lot of history, culture, and attractions for us to experience. New Zealand is known for its stunning national parks, dynamic Māori culture, incredible hiking trails, and world-class skiing and surfing.

How often does GPS use nzgd2000 coordinates?
Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) such as GPS generally provide coordinates in the WGS84 or ITRF reference frames. These are often treated as equivalent to NZGD2000 coordinates without applying the deformation model. This will be acceptable for some applications – the error in doing so is up to 5cm per year since 2000 – about 75cm in 2015.
