Questions, answered briefly

What is Te Oka?

A named summit in the open map’s record of Christchurch, 685 metres above the sea, standing over Little River.

How high is Te Oka?

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

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.
