What else is Tauhinukorokio / Mount Pleasant called?

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

Is the pin on the map exact?

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.
