GPS Co-ordinates needed

[M1CRO:Me]

Am planning a trip over Easter and the GPS map I am using doesnt have a few roads on it... Will look at getting a updated map in due course..

In the interim.. I am after the following GPS Co-ordinates of the following intersections (North Island - SH5(Taupo) heading through to Whakatane FROM Napier end).. Instructions copied from Wises...

...
13. - Intersection - In Waitahanui, turn left onto Napier-Taupo Road/SH 5 and continue for 90.343 kilometres (I got this one)

14. - Intersection - In Kaingaroa South, turn right onto High Level Road and continue for 36.87 kilometres (Dont have this one)

15. - Intersection - In Murupara, turn onto Goudies Road for 14.856 kilometres (I think I have this one?... At the intersection of Goudies Road & Waimahunga - S38 31.994 E176 28.585)

16. - Intersection - In Rerewhakaaitu, turn left onto SH 38 and continue for 6.568 kilometres (I got this one)

17. - Intersection - In Rerewhakaaitu, turn right onto Northern Boundary Road and continue for 1.158 kilometres (I got this one)

18. - Intersection - In Rerewhakaaitu, turn left onto Yankee Road and continue for 4.182 kilometres (I got this one)

19. - Intersection - In Lake Tarawera, turn onto Ash Pit Road for 5.701 kilometres (I got this one)

20. - Intersection - In Te Teko, turn right onto Ngamotu Road and continue for 12.579 kilometres (I got this one)

Left, then right... go around the roundabout twice, left at the tree then straight ahead.....

Just bloody ride and stop playing with toys.
You know that thing only gets you lost anyway.

Would using google-earth help? Can't remember if they have GPS coordinates though...

Real men don't ask for directions... we know where we're going naturally, like homing pidgeons.

If you can send a map I can get the others easy enough, I just cant follow your directions

Cheers

I can do all of these for you this evening, if you don't have the answers by then. What's your preferred format?

That's a nice ride from Murapara north to Te Teko - I do it 2 or 3 times a year. Great photoshoot opportunity at the eastern end of Matahina Dam. The 7 km straight from the Taupo-Rotorua highway part way to Murapara might be interesting for a 'busa owner too - it certainly is for Blackbird owners

Ohhhhh.. Excellent.. Had my speed fix on Monday at Pukekohe track (300km/hr).. But it may be an addiction

The fire breaks on both sides of the road are huge and the trees provide shelter from crosswinds. When 3 'birds and 1 'busa last went down there, there was no difficulty in ummmm... using all available power. It should be closed off for record attempts

I'm relectant to sound off about any particular town but sorry to say that Murapara has no redeeming graces at all. Don't stop if you want to keep your wallet or bike. It used to be a reasonable place until the effects of unemployment hit home.
