Australia (WA) - Armchairmappers needed

Verfasst von kerosin am 15. März 2011 in English Zuletzt aktualisiert am 27. März 2011.

Hey Guys,

Just noticed there are a lot of big lakes in Australia that are not mapped although Bing imagery is available. So I'm asking Armchair-Mappers to help mapping them :)

If you're working on one of the lakes please leave a comment! Thanks

Lake Annean: ROUGHLY osm.org/?lon=118.2861&lat=-26.92727&zoom=13

Lake Austin: DONE (osm.org/?lat=-27.6916&lon=117.9963&zoom=13)

Lake Barlee: DONE (osm.org/?lat=-29.107&lon=119.2246&zoom=13)

Lake Cowan: DONE (osm.org/?lat=-31.9155&lon=121.7562&zoom=13)

Lake Carnegie: ROUGHLY (osm.org/?lat=-26.1989&lon=122.539&zoom=13)

Lake Gregory: ROUGHLY (osm.org/?lat=-20.2322&lon=127.4519&zoom=13)

Lake Lefroy: ROUGHLY osm.org/?lat=-31.2811&lon=121.6838&zoom=13

Lake Marmion: ROUGHLY (osm.org/?lon=121.47969&lat=-29.72996&zoom=13)

Lake Mason: ROUGHLY (osm.org/?lon=119.5443&lat=-27.60795&zoom=13)

Lake Maurice: DONE (osm.org/?lon=130.95368&lat=-29.48017&zoom=13)

Lake Noondie: DONE (osm.org/?lon=119.45958&lat=-28.55777&zoom=13)

Percival Lakes: DONE osm.org/?lon=124.68684&lat=-21.3735&zoom=13

Lake Seabrook: ROUGHLY (osm.org/?lon=119.64738&lat=-30.93075&zoom=13)

Lake Tay: DONE (osm.org/?lon=120.79734&lat=-32.94903&zoom=13)

Lake Yindarlgoodo: DONE (osm.org/?lon=122.05493&lat=-30.67408&zoom=13)

I will roll out a bigger list if there's enough help.

I'm sorry for mistakes, I'm not a native English speaker.

Cheers

/edit: added some more ;)

Great idea!

I've had a crack at Lake Cowan.

Kommentar von liftarn am 17. März 2011 um 09:24 Uhr

Dundas and Austin looks mapped.

Kommentar von liftarn am 17. März 2011 um 09:28 Uhr

Did Lake Wells.

Kommentar von kerosin am 17. März 2011 um 09:39 Uhr

HokusPokus did Dundas and Austin. Good job!
Still 4 left

first rough outline of Percival Lakes

Kommentar von alexis78 am 17. März 2011 um 13:43 Uhr

Percival : trying to draw a finer outline from Bing images. From high up, this seems to be a shallow lake and mostly sand banks, making it hard to tell where the land ends and the water starts... so the outline remains somewhat approximative.

Kommentar von Hokuspokus am 18. März 2011 um 13:08 Uhr

Lake Cowan has large areas coverd with I guess salt. I think these areas should be seperated.

Kommentar von liftarn am 18. März 2011 um 13:26 Uhr

Dumbleyung looks done.

Kommentar von liftarn am 18. März 2011 um 13:32 Uhr

Did a rough trace of Disappointment. Very difficult to tell what is land and what is water.

Kommentar von alexis78 am 18. März 2011 um 14:44 Uhr

I've gone as far as I can, given the sat image quality, my patience and my total lack of understanding of the area I'm tracing... So, regarding Percival Lakes : all major bodies of water I could see from bing, the major islands inside them are done. Not always / not everywhere with a high level of detail, but curvy enough to follow the land (?) and look natural(-ish).

This was, to me, an exercise in something different, and a kind of exotism by proxy (I'm nowhere near Australia, and won't be able to visit in the foreseeable future). I'll go back to my own area now. Everyone is welcome to pick up from where I left and enhance what I started.

Cheers, everyone !

Did Lake Tay.

Kommentar von liftarn am 18. März 2011 um 15:55 Uhr

And a rough trance of Lake Mason. Is it really that small?

Kommentar von liftarn am 18. März 2011 um 15:57 Uhr

Lake Seabrook done (I think).

Kommentar von liftarn am 18. März 2011 um 16:01 Uhr

And Lake Marmion. I think the east side may need some improvement.

Kommentar von Ohr am 18. März 2011 um 20:02 Uhr

Added Lake Barlee - now I know why it was still not done even though it was the first one. Probably didn't catch all islands.

There also seems to be a smaller lake just north which still waits for mapping.

Kommentar von liftarn am 21. März 2011 um 09:02 Uhr

Lake Gregory done.

Kommentar von Ohr am 25. März 2011 um 20:23 Uhr

Added Lake Magenta

Kommentar von Ohr am 25. März 2011 um 20:37 Uhr

Also just traced Lake Noondie

Kommentar von Ohr am 26. März 2011 um 16:40 Uhr

I've just added Lake Maurice. Also Lake Yindarlgoodo has already been mapped by someone. I've adjusted the tagging so it's now rendered as a lake.

Kommentar von Ohr am 26. März 2011 um 21:42 Uhr

Ok, finally also mapped Lake Carnegie, although the eastern part could be more detailed. But the shape is quite weird to draw.

Thanks alot! If you're still interested in armchairmapping in Australia check this out:
osm.wiki/Lakes_of_Western_Australia
There are also pretty small lakes mentioned. Lot's of them haven't been checked.
