Where it stands

A named summit in the open map’s record of Christchurch, 462 metres above the sea, standing over Hillsborough.
462 metres, as OpenStreetMap tags it, a mapper’s elevation, not a new survey.
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.
