About Us

About Geomap NZ

Geomap NZ started with an old consumer drone that we barely used for years. One day, I came up with the idea of getting into drone mapping, as a way of spending more time on farms, and in the bush, and from there things started to grow.

Fast forward 18 months, and having immersed ourselves in geospatial science, for the last 18 months, Malachi and I are now confidently able to produce commercial quality imagery and maps, that I believe would compete with any more substantial operation.

We have a full suite of quality, industry standard gear, and happy to share examples of work we have produced to date.

About Sam

Hi, I'm Sam Kirk. I've got a background as a fitter welder, and from there I moved into engineering quality management.

Along the way I developed a love for geospatial science and data collection, which is what Geomap NZ is now built on.

About Malachi

Hi, I’m Malachi. I’m a 15-year-old high school student with a strong interest in drone mapping and aerial photography. I do heaps of mountain biking, play a lot of music, and I’m very interested in learning practical skills and working with technology. I’m especially interested in the drone side of Geomap NZ, from flying and capturing imagery through to learning more about how mapping and 3D modelling works.

Come and talk to us

While we are building our portfolio, we are really interested in talking with people about what they want from drone mapping services. We want to shape our work around what people actually need, not just what sounds good on a website.

There is only so much you can understand from a webpage, so the best thing to do is get in touch with us directly. We are happy to answer questions, talk through ideas, visit a site, price up a job, and explain what type of mapping might suit your project.
