The permit map was starting to cost me a small fortune as it’s so popular. So I’ve redeveloped it using a different method which should hopefully get rid of the monthly bill.
Please let me know if you notice any issues with it so I can fix them

oh, I’m so sorry, didnt realise it was costing so much, I was using it for everthing.
That’s all good - I put it out there for people to use 
Just didn’t realise it would get so much use and Mapbox, who I was using to show the permit details on the map, suddenly put their costs up a good few months back.
All good now though

Good idea. Count me in.
The new map appears to work great I tried the old one a few times but found it didnt display the permit areas very well on two of my laptops especially when I zoomed in and out but this one looks great… Thanks for all the work you have put into it… It will now be a great tool to keep me away from claimed ground when I head South later this year
Thanks for the generous offers to chip in, it’s much appreciated. There’s some options on Donate - New Zealand Gold Prospecting & Fossicking if you’d like to chip in. But please don’t feel obligated as I’m hoping the advertising revenue should cover the costs now 
Rather than spending $ and time on it why not just post a link to the Nzpam map ? , i never use the forum map as it only shows granted consents not the pending one,s
.
i always use gavins map because i find the nzpam site a pigs ear to do anything on but maybe its just me.
@sootypete I must admit that the NZPAM minerals map has gotten a lot better in the latest incarnation thankfully. I’d originally provided the Paydirt map of filtered gold-only permits as the NZPAM one used to be far too noisy to use easily. I figured it’s a handy simplified tool for people not wanting to end up on granted claims.
I had contemplated including permit applications but figured they aren’t as important to the most users here unless you’re looking to lodge a claim.
I like that! - post must be at least twenty characters - post must be at least twenty characters - post must be at least twenty fucking characters…is that enough?
