Map of sanctuary area

As an initial start, the map in the Infobox links to the boundary of the Kaikōura District. This is not strictly correct because although the designated sanctuary area covers 98% of the district, it excludes the Kaikōura township. I will work towards a specific map showing the excluded area._Marshelec (talk) 20:36, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Canley Hi, I would like some advice on how best to proceed with a map issue for this article. At present, the map in the Infobox uses the boundary definition in OpenStreetMap for the entire Kaikōura District. However, the designated area of the Dark Sky Sanctuary excludes the Kaikōura township. I have obtained a map showing the excluded area - a copy is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/14gZ9yUIYvUzUVAyTgN9WWcEYnvEjCyj1/view?usp=drive_link. My question is how best to proceed from here, so that the map in the Infobox correctly shows the boundary of the Dark Sky Sanctuary. I have little experience in OpenStreetMap at this point, but if you can give me some pointers I will try to undertake the job myself. Grateful for any advice :)_Marshelec (talk) 00:06, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
