Road Maps and Touring
Wises
This New Zealand site allows you to search for a location or business within NZ. It will also allow you to search for another location and give you directions between the two locations.
Smaps
This spin off from the NZ site TradeMe is another high quality map site where you can search for any address in New Zealand. The maps seem to stream a little faster than wises and are a little clearer but you can't get directions between two locations.
