Te Reo Māori Place Names

The database is the culmination of an effort by Andrew Douglas-Clifford (The Map Kiwi) to create a comprehensive open dataset of Te Reo Māori place names in OpenStreetMap (OSM). This layer is an extract of the OpenStreetMap database for the place names in New Zealand that are tagged with a Māori name. Please note that the layer excludes places with English only names. This dataset includes the following: Settlements: cities, towns, villages, hamlets, localities and islands, with English and Māori names. Waterways: rivers, streams, canals, drains and tidal channels. Water Bodies: Lakes and some bays. Mountain Peaks (with elevation) The source field (when known) is populated from a combination of OpenStreetMap tags and additional source lookups (note it may contain sources for the geometry rather than name in some cases). See an interactive map with these names, or buy a print map on The Map Kiwi website, where you can also provide feedback or suggestions for this layer. This layer contains information extracted from OpenStreetMap. The inclusion of information within this dataset should not be considered as an indication that the name is official or authoritative.
