The collection of datasets contains the 1:250 000 geological data for New Zealand. These datasets are a product of the QMAP Geological Map of New Zealand Project and were produced by GNS Science. They represent the most current mapping for New Zealand at a scale of 1:250 000. The datasets are stored in an ESRI vector geodatabase and exported to ArcGIS Server. The datasets comprises multiple geological features with each having attributes that describes them. The datasets are available for purchase as feature classes in ESRI file geodatabase and shapefile GIS formats and freely consumable as a layer in Web Map Services and Web Feature Services from ArcGIS Server.

This dataset has been superseded by a new edition (2nd edition) available here: https://data.gns.cri.nz/metadata/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/647B1A4A-5E23-4FEE-80D0-260C6A6F49EC. This dataset contains the bounding arcs to the 1:1 000 000 miscellaneous polygons data for New Zealand. These include water and ice contacts as well as other limits of mapping. The dataset is a product of the Geological Map of New Zealand 1: 1 000 000 project and was produced by GNS Science. The dataset is stored in an ESRI vector geodatabase and exported to ArcGIS Server. The dataset comprises arcs with each arc having attributes describing the type of contact, its name, exposure and accuracy. The data should not be used at scales beyond that for which it was prepared. The spatial accuracy is estimated to be no better than +/- 1000 m. The dataset is available for purchase as feature classes in ESRI file geodatabase and shapefile GIS formats and freely consumable as a layer in Web Map Services and Web Feature Services from ArcGIS Server.
