South Island is an island in New Zealand at latitude 43°42′00.00″ South, longitude 170°33′07.20″ East.
Welcome to the wiki project New Zealand South Island page - this page is dedicated to helping OSM mappers working on adding content in New Zealand's South Island and Stewart Island.
Please be aware there is currently (2011-02) a data import in progress from Land Information New Zealand and the NZ Open GPS project, of all New Zealand roads and other items. See the LINZ project and LINZ_Trial_Import for details on getting involved, or join the nzopengis group (see NZ page).
This should not stop mappers adding any data - we will merge LINZ data around manually mapped items.
Canterbury
- [1] - North Canterbury: Lots of roads mapped from Yahoo sat images, most still need naming and tagging.

Christchurch Traveller Information Project
Work was done in August 2013 to make the road network more routable.

Old mapping coordination info
majority of chch streets are now labelled - a few residential streets in the Northern suburbs remain untagged.
Me (Scott Mansell, aka phire) and Scott Parlane are working on naming streets in the Northern suburbs. Just did most Fendalton, Bryndwr and Burnside last night, will do some more next week. Any help will be Appreciated. --Phire 16:54, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
Not sure how localised or repeatable this is - in my area (South Chch) the Yahoo imagery seems systematically offset from GPS tracks. Need to move the image about 15m North, and slightly West (hard to measure accurately with potlatch). Agree or disagree? --EliotB 07:19, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
I agree with ElliotB as I have found the same issue with the Yahoo imagery and GoogleEarth. I have checked several known points eg. a specific orienteering markers at Victoria Park over mutliple days and with several devices and found this error constantly (but the OSM data is spot on - apart from normal GPS +- errors). I will continue to add features on the port hills and street names in SW CHCH as I get them --gerkin Aug 2009

Oamaru
I've made a start on this from some traces when I was there in May. Unfortunately the family gets sick of me driving all of the streets, and my GPS logging was broken on the second day. Karora 08:38, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
Dunedin
Some work around the city centre
I've done a little cleanup work. It's a shame that Dunedin doesn't seem to rate aerial imagery from Yahoo so the whole thing needs to be done from GPS traces. It would be great if a local could climb in there and rationalise the primary / secondary roads which seem to be far too excessive. Even better if they can borrow a GPS and upload a bunch more high-resolution traces... Karora 08:37, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
Started adding information for Dunedin based on the bing imagery and local knowledge. Will get out soon and get some GPS traces of some missing roads and walkways. Starting in the north of the city as this is where I live but will work my way down, --JAYSONHOOGY 06:20, 10 April 2012 (BST)
