Yes I have looked into these which you have taken from wififreespot.com. Some are already on the map. Others are at accommodation which is going to be added in the future. Others I can't find any further information on and would prefer they were verified as still existing and not an unintentional unsecured AP by someone.
I noticed the New Mobil On the Run petrol station in balmoral has a big sign saying free WI FI inside. I havent tried it and don't know if all On the Runs have Free WI FI or not !!
Hi,
Thanks for this great service. I just installed the .gpi file, but all entries N of Wellsford are missing. What gives?
I can't find an information relating to this. If you can confirm that free wifi is provided here and any conditions. I will add it to the map.
Sorry I hadn't updated the version on the server. It is now updated with all the free hotspots. Its nice to know that the .gpi file is being used as I initially created for my personal use. If there is another filetype you would like to see, please let me know.
Yes the new Mobil "on the Runs" do have free wifi, there are no conditions and i often use it when i need to check emails in a hurry etc.. I use the Mobil on Wairau Road Glenfield, and also the Mobil on Oteha Valley road in Albany. There must be countless other mobil's now …
Ok thanks, will add those ones. If any others can be confirmed I will add them as well.
Whangarei appears devoid hotspots, even the library.
Sorry but I don't know of any in Whangarei . Do you know any there that I can add?
Kia ora,
The More Information link that you have for APNK wifi hotspots links to a wiki which is no longer in use. This information is now available in our new FAQs http://www.aotearoapeoplesnetwork.info/faq/wifi-r...
See also a list of partner libraries (those with wifi indicated by an asterix) http://www.aotearoapeoplesnetwork.org/content/par...

Ok I will update the link, Cheers
There are now 4 nearly free hotspots located in Whangarei.
The Village Cafe, Kamo. Tahuna Reef at the Town Basin. Marina Court Motel and Casa Blanca Motel.
They offer FREE 15 Minutes daily to any user, no ticket required just connect and surf. If you require more the prices are very reasonable $10 day passes (250mb) etc.
I will email Jayson to keep the network of Mai Wi-Fi's updated. There are also 2 in Paihia.
Hi,
Just tried one for the first time, here in Twizel. Unfortunately, the POI is in the greenery outside town. The Zenbu coords are also wrong. Even more unfortunately, we are leaving here tomorrow, so can’t go and find the library, sorry. Pls. mark this POI as incorrect.
Thanks,
Peter.
Cheers, will be in the next update and I see you also updated Zenbu. Awesome.
Turns out I had a few mins to spare and followed the signs. The correct location is:
S44 15.345 E170 05.914
Thanks very much for this, it's exactly what I was looking for. =) Thank you!!
Also Hashigo Zake craft beer bar, 25 Taranaki St, Wellington CBD. Free wifi for bar patrons.
Sweet will add it in the next update.
