Where's New Zealand?

As we all know, New Zealand is to the north and west of Australia. Or above the Philippines. Or disappears like Brigadoon. Sharing maps, fun facts about geography, and weird facts about AoNZ.

I love this one too
Pacific Ocean Satellite View image. This is a picture of the entire earth taken from a very high orbit. The atmosphere appears as a very thin white line on the edge. It is centred on the Pacific ocean and only land visible is the Hawai'ian Islands at the top and New Zealand to the far left. The ocean is really big. There isn't much in it.

A variant of the meme going around with two big problems. It isn't nearly as easy to pick because they moved the centre point and ... it's a #mapswithoutnz

World map divided into quadrants A through H. The centre point for the array is the middle of Africa. You are told: You can only pick 1 area to eat from forever. This is a variant of the meme where the centre point was Italy and the section containing NZ and AU was actually unequivocally the best as it included Japan, South Korea, big chunks of China, Thailand, and Malyasia. It also had a tiny bit of Italy. Really unbeatable. This version is shockingly bad.

Picking up where we left off is this excellent example of a map that just doesn't quite stick the landing #mapswithoutnz #aonz
World map that looks like it was spray painted in black on a wall using decals that were subsequently peeled away. Not bad except the usual Mercator distortions making it look like all the land is in Greenland and Alaska. Oh and there is no NZ South Island.
