Questions, answered briefly

What is Ōrongomai / Cass Peak?

A named summit in the open map’s record of Christchurch, 545 metres above the sea, standing over Governors Bay.

How high is Ōrongomai / Cass Peak?

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

What else is Ōrongomai / Cass Peak called?

The map also records “Ōrongomai”, 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.
