Additional Resources
The three pocket references below are small aide memoirs for use with Garmin 60, 62 or 64 series handheld GPS units in New Zealand. For field use, we recommend printing, folding in half and laminating, ensuring you have a decent edge to maintain waterproofness.
A standard hole-punch through the laminate sheet (but not the paper) will allow you to attach it to your GPS unit.
