## Questions, answered briefly

**What is Hidden Valley lookout?**

A named lookout in the open map’s record of Christchurch, standing over [Cashmere](https://www.chch.live/cashmere).

**Is the pin on the map exact?**

It’s OpenStreetMap’s position, the top or the viewing spot as the volunteer map marks it. Neighbours on the register are near it, not the same record.


---
The position, elevation and names are OpenStreetMap’s, a named peak or viewpoint inside the city boundary (ODbL). An elevation is the mapper’s tag, not a fresh survey; a listing is a lead, not a register entry.
