Where it stands

The pin is OpenStreetMap’s own position, the strong outline is the suburb the map puts it in, the rest are its neighbours.

The reports nearby

434 council reports pinned within 250 m of the point, most often Graffiti & vandalism and Rubbish & dumping, 372 with a photograph. A pin is where a reporter stood, not a claim about the place itself.

Questions, answered briefly

What is Love is Love?

A mural in the open map’s record of Christchurch, standing in Richmond.

Where does Love is Love stand?

In Richmond, the pin is the map’s own position. The register keeps no listed place 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.
