Questions, answered briefly

What is Lucas Peak?

A named summit in the open map’s record of Christchurch, 381 metres above the sea, standing over Wainui.

How high is Lucas Peak?

381 metres, as OpenStreetMap tags it, a mapper’s elevation, not a new survey.

What else is Lucas Peak called?

The map also records “Mount Lewis”, the page answers to all of them.

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 record behind this

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; the dual names are recorded as the map carries them.
