USER GRIDS (16 Aug 1998) From: Collin Tang, Singapore. waypoint@infantry.com If you have other User-Grid data, please contact Collin New Zealand Grid (NZMG) from Norris Weimer (This is a rough estimation due to the different basis on which the NZMG is based on. Errors vary from a few metres in the central regions of the map to a kilometre at the extremes. Bearings will therefore also be affected.) Longitude Origin - E173 deg 26.45' False Easting - 2510000.0 m False Northing - 10563802.0 m** Scale - 1.0 Datum - Geodetic Datum 1949 **Important note for Garmin users: Remember this! The false northing value you just entered is wrong. On the Garmins, you can only enter 7 digits, not 8, so enter 9563802.0. It should really be 10563802.0, but since there is no way to enter that number, the best we can do is enter a number*exactly* 1,000,000 less and remember to add 1,000,000 to all of the Northing values the Garmin produces. In practice, this won't be any problem; you probably know where you are to within 1000 km even without the GPS. But watch out when you enter waypoints directly into the GPS derived from a map. By the nature of the UTM projection, it does not matter at all that we had to give it a value 1000000 short; the False Northing value only changes the labels, not the projection itself. There is no accuracy lost by using the wrong False Northing value. The real errors come from using the UTM projection instead of the NZMG projection.
