Australia (WA) - Armchairmappers needed

Publiée par kerosin le 15 mars 2011 en English. Dernière mise à jour le 27 mars 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

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.

Commentaire de liftarn le 17 mars 2011 à 9 h 24

Dundas and Austin looks mapped.

Commentaire de liftarn le 17 mars 2011 à 9 h 28

Did Lake Wells.

Commentaire de kerosin le 17 mars 2011 à 9 h 39

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

first rough outline of Percival Lakes

Commentaire de alexis78 le 17 mars 2011 à 13 h 43

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.

Commentaire de Hokuspokus le 18 mars 2011 à 13 h 08

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

Commentaire de liftarn le 18 mars 2011 à 13 h 26

Dumbleyung looks done.

Commentaire de liftarn le 18 mars 2011 à 13 h 32

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

Commentaire de alexis78 le 18 mars 2011 à 14 h 44

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.

Commentaire de liftarn le 18 mars 2011 à 15 h 55

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

Commentaire de liftarn le 18 mars 2011 à 15 h 57

Lake Seabrook done (I think).

Commentaire de liftarn le 18 mars 2011 à 16 h 01

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

Commentaire de Ohr le 18 mars 2011 à 20 h 02

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.

Commentaire de liftarn le 21 mars 2011 à 9 h 02

Lake Gregory done.

Commentaire de Ohr le 25 mars 2011 à 20 h 23

Added Lake Magenta

Commentaire de Ohr le 25 mars 2011 à 20 h 37

Also just traced Lake Noondie

Commentaire de Ohr le 26 mars 2011 à 16 h 40

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.

Commentaire de Ohr le 26 mars 2011 à 21 h 42

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.
