Questions, answered briefly

What is Kamautaurua Island?

A named reef in Christchurch, as the open map records it.

What else is Kamautaurua Island called?

The map also records “Kamautaurua” and “Shag Reef”, the page answers to all of them.

Where exactly is Kamautaurua Island?

The pin is OpenStreetMap’s own position for the reef, the formation’s own ground, or its centreline’s middle. Neighbours on the register are near it, not the same record.

The record behind this

The position and the names are OpenStreetMap’s, a named cliff, rock, reef or quarry inside the city boundary (ODbL). The dual names and the crag names are recorded as the map carries them; a pin is the mapper’s position, not a surveyed mark.
