ParksQuestions, answered briefly
A named summit in the open map’s record of Christchurch, 421 metres above the sea, standing over Hillsborough.
421 metres, as OpenStreetMap tags it, a mapper’s elevation, not a new survey.
The map also records “Te Upoko-o-Kurī”, the page answers to all of them.
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.
