DOC Campsites & Huts
DOC (Department of Conservation) has come to the Zenbu party providing us with the location of all 940 backcountry huts and 200 plus campsites. They’ve all gone in with orange (somewhere-close-to-here) markers as DOC could not guarantee the accuracy but the ones I know weren’t out by more than 50m. So jump on your laptop with wifi while you’re out tramping and look up the nearest hut! 
This is just one more step in our plan to make Zenbu the place where you can Find Everything.

Ratings & Reviews
We’ve added the ability for members to rate and review entries on Zenbu. All ratings & reviews are public so you can check what a reviewer says about other entries and quickly see if you can trust their opinion.
It’s one more step towards our vision of Zenbu as a digital solution for those everyday questions
- Where is the nearest ATM?
- What’s the name of that cafe in Remuera?
- Can you recommend me a restaurant in town?
which is really exciting!

Kompass – Business to Business Database
The number of Zenbu listings did a massive leap today from 19,829 to 35,870 (+16,041!) , almost doubling the size of the database, with the exciting support of Kompass.
Kompass New Zealand is the NZ representative of a global business database designed for B2B search. They have far more comprehensive profiles than Zenbu ever hopes to have and they charge a premium for access to the complete database.
Sam Giffney, General Manager of Kompass said, “We see major benefit in syndicating our content through Zenbu. Customers who want to find a name, address or phone number can do so quickly and easily in Zenbu; customers who want to find just B2B companies using powerful search criteria should use Kompass – www.kompass.com. Businesses list on Kompass to be found and this is one small way that we can help them. “
Thank you Kompass!!
