How to Use This Auckland, Auckland Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Auckland, Auckland. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out. Drag the map to pan to any area of Auckland or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official LINZ topographic maps — the Topo250 and Topo50 sheets used for tramping, hunting, hut access and back-country navigation, switching scale automatically as you zoom in. Aerial shows LINZ aerial imagery, down to 5cm resolution in urban areas. The search box above the map finds any New Zealand town, suburb or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Auckland.
Click 📍 My position in that same panel to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are, shows your accuracy, and reports your position as an NZTM2000 grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude. The NZTM grid reference is the format New Zealand search and rescue services work from, and there is a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even in places where the map itself cannot load.
The blue 📍 My Location & Navigate button starts live turn-by-turn driving directions from wherever you are to any destination you enter, with spoken guidance, lane hints and automatic re-routing if you leave the route.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

About Auckland, Auckland
Auckland is a locality in the Auckland Region of New Zealand. With a population of 1,547,200, it is one of New Zealand's largest cities. It sits at an elevation of around 43 m above sea level. Auckland is the capital of the Auckland Region. Auckland is located at 36.8485°S, 174.7635°E. It observes New Zealand Time (NZST/NZDT). Statistics New Zealand classifies the area as a main urban area.
Auckland, a coastal metropolis, unfurls itself across a verdant isthmus, its physical character shaped by the restless embrace of the sea and the gentle swell of ancient volcanic cones. It lies 4.4 km north of Epsom (from Epsom: bearing 352°T), and is situated 5.5 km south-south-east of North Shore. The air here often carries the faint, clean tang of salt, a constant reminder of its proximity to Freemans Bay, a mere kilometre away, and the wider, shimmering expanse of the Hauraki Gulf. Rolling hills, softened by time and frequent rain, lend a gentle contour to the landscape, while pockets of native bush, like the verdant Walker Bush twenty kilometres distant, whisper of an older, wilder New Zealand. Dominating the skyline, the Sky Tower, an almost impossibly slender needle, stands as a modern sentinel, its presence a silent counterpoint to the natural undulations of the land and the distant, misty promise of the Waitakere Ranges.
The genesis of Auckland is a narrative woven from the dreams of settlers and the enduring presence of Māori people. While the precise founding moments are complex, the city's development accelerated significantly in the mid-19th century, establishing itself as a vital port and administrative centre. Early endeavours focused on harnessing the region's natural resources, laying the groundwork for its future prosperity. The sheer tenacity of those who arrived, seeking new beginnings on this distant shore, is palpable in the enduring spirit of Auckland. It is a place where the echoes of past voyages and foundational aspirations still seem to resonate on the sea breeze.
Auckland's economy thrives on a diverse and dynamic mix of industries, anchored by its status as a major global hub for trade and innovation. Its port facilities are a critical artery, facilitating the export of agricultural products such as dairy, sheep and beef, and horticultural bounty like kiwifruit and apples, as well as the import of manufactured goods. Tourism, a significant contributor, draws visitors to its stunning natural beauty and vibrant urban life. Renowned universities, including the University of Auckland and AUT, fuel research and development, fostering a skilled workforce. The city's infrastructure is extensive, with a well-developed road network, a bustling international airport, and efficient public transport systems that connect its sprawling suburbs and link it to the rest of the nation.
The cultural fabric of Auckland is a rich tapestry, reflecting both its provincial roots and its cosmopolitan aspirations. Professional sports resonate deeply, with the Blues representing the region in Super Rugby Pacific and the NZ Warriors competing in the National Rugby League. Annual events and festivals pulse with life throughout the year, from the vibrant Pasifika Festival celebrating Pacific cultures to the Auckland Arts Festival showcasing international and local talent. Landmarks like the aforementioned Sky Tower offer panoramic views, while the nearby shores of Freemans Bay beckon with their coastal charm. While many have left their mark, individuals like the internationally acclaimed actor Russell Crowe, born in Wellington but raised for a significant period in Auckland, and the legendary musician Neil Finn, have achieved global recognition, their artistry echoing the creative spirit of Auckland.

About This Auckland Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand at coordinates -36.84853, 174.76349. Use the Map and Satellite buttons to switch views, the plus and minus buttons to zoom, and Fullscreen to fill the screen.
Search Maps opens a second, independent map with four things the embedded map cannot do. It searches OpenStreetMap for any New Zealand town, suburb or landmark by name. It offers LINZ topographic maps as a base layer — the official Topo250 and Topo50 sheets, switching scale automatically as you zoom, and the standard reference for tramping, hunting and back-country travel. It offers LINZ aerial imagery down to 5cm resolution in urban areas. And it can take a single GPS fix from your device and report your position as both an NZTM2000 grid reference and plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what New Zealand search and rescue services work from. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map itself cannot load.
My Location & Navigate starts the vector-tile navigator: live turn-by-turn driving directions from your current position to any destination, with spoken guidance, lane hints and automatic re-routing.
Live weather conditions with current observations and a 7-day forecast are powered by Open-Meteo. Real-time New Zealand and world news feeds keep the page current, while an editorial description provides background on Auckland.
Auckland sits within the Auckland Region. Location data is drawn from the GeoNames geographical database and verified by coordinates, ensuring the correct Auckland is identified even where the name is shared across multiple New Zealand localities.
