Questions
- What are the best viewpoints in Vancouver?
- The map shows 49 mapped viewpoints. OpenStreetMap does not rank them, so the value here is finding the ones no guidebook lists rather than the famous terrace everyone already knows.
- Are these viewpoints free to visit?
- Most outdoor viewpoints are, but towers and observation decks often charge. Where the fee tag exists it shows in the details.
- Where does this viewpoints data come from?
- From OpenStreetMap, a map built by volunteer surveyors and maintained continuously. It is the best available source for small fixtures like this one, because they are the things commercial map providers do not bother collecting.
- Something is missing or wrong. Can I fix it?
- Yes, and it is the fastest way to get it corrected. Edit the point on openstreetmap.org and the change flows through to this page on the next refresh. There is no separate database here to correct.
- Is the list of viewpoints in Vancouver complete?
- It is as complete as the local survey effort. Densely mapped cities are close to exhaustive; elsewhere expect gaps. The map is always the fuller view, since the list on this page only names the points that have a name.
