This page describe the mast_pnt object class used to represent objects in the NZTopo topographic database.

Topo50 description

Only those significant either by their size (generally those over 10m) or location are held in the data and shown on the printed maps. Any in the CBD are not held in the data or shown on the printed maps. Note also that a single mast feature may represent one, two or a group of masts in close proximity. Where a mast is located close to a trig, the mast symbol is replaced on the printed map by the text 'Mast'

Topo250 description

Only those significant by their size or location are held in the Topo250 data and shown on the Topo250 printed maps; these are a generalised subset of those shown on the Topo50 series

A unique identifier for use on Topo50 data in the LINZ Data Service. This is not a universal ID. The intention is to manage these ID’s as persistent, however this is not guaranteed and there will be instances where what appears to be a minor change to a feature may result in a new ID being assigned.
