You'll discover an intriguing exploratory route near the Tasman District that rewards adventurous 4WD drivers willing to venture into lesser-known terrain. GPS Road offers a compact 3.0 km journey through the South Island's diverse landscape, perfect for those seeking to test their navigation skills and vehicle capability on an unrated track that remains relatively untouched by heavy traffic.
The trail presents variable terrain that demands your full attention behind the wheel. You should expect a mixed driving surface that challenges your vehicle's handling without extreme technical demands—ideal for intermediate drivers looking to build confidence in off-road conditions. The scenery reflects the Tasman District's distinctive character, with native vegetation and open vistas that make this a rewarding short venture away from main routes. Weather conditions can change rapidly in this region, so you'll want to monitor forecasts carefully before heading out.
Before tackling GPS Road, ensure your 4WD is well-maintained and equipped with recovery gear. Given the trail's minimal usage history, you should carry navigation tools and inform someone of your planned route. The completion time can vary significantly depending on conditions and your pace—what matters is taking time to safely navigate this off-the-beaten-path experience. This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to the Newtracs community by logging your drive data once you've completed the route.
