Questions, answered briefly

What is John Webb Memorial?

A plaque in the open map’s record of Christchurch, standing in Lyttelton.

Where does John Webb Memorial stand?

In Lyttelton, the pin is the map’s own position. The register keeps 6 places within 300m of it.

Is the pin on the map exact?

It’s OpenStreetMap’s position, a surveyed-looking point, but a volunteer map’s one. Nearby ground and register places are neighbours, not the same record.

The record behind this

The position and the tags are OpenStreetMap’s, a named node or way tagged memorial or artwork inside the city boundary (ODbL). The maker, material and date fields are the mapper’s own, kept verbatim; a listing is a lead, not a catalogue record.
