Two islands, one arc: Auckland down through Rotorua to Wellington, the hop to Queenstown, and the famous dead-end road to Milford Sound. Drive legs follow New Zealand's real highways; the Cook Strait jump reads as the flight it usually is.

It's the campervan country -- swap the car for the camper vehicle, raise the terrain so the Southern Alps rise under your route, and add a photo at every lookout you couldn't drive past.

## FAQ

### Can I do the Cook Strait by ferry instead of flying?

Yes -- add Picton and set that leg to boat; it routes across the strait on real sea lanes.

### Does it show the mountains?

Pro's terrain slider raises real elevation relief, so the route visibly threads the Southern Alps around Queenstown and Fiordland.

### How long a trip can I animate?

Free trips hold 10 stops; Pro holds 100 -- enough for a full both-islands month with every stop you loved.
