Australia (WA) - Armchairmappers needed

Sett inn af kerosin 15. mars 2011 á English. Síðast uppfært 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

Great idea!

I've had a crack at Lake Cowan.

Athugasemd eftir liftarn sett inn 17. mars 2011 kl. 09:24

Dundas and Austin looks mapped.

Athugasemd eftir liftarn sett inn 17. mars 2011 kl. 09:28

Did Lake Wells.

Athugasemd eftir kerosin sett inn 17. mars 2011 kl. 09:39

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

first rough outline of Percival Lakes

Athugasemd eftir alexis78 sett inn 17. mars 2011 kl. 13:43

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.

Athugasemd eftir Hokuspokus sett inn 18. mars 2011 kl. 13:08

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

Athugasemd eftir liftarn sett inn 18. mars 2011 kl. 13:26

Dumbleyung looks done.

Athugasemd eftir liftarn sett inn 18. mars 2011 kl. 13:32

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

Athugasemd eftir alexis78 sett inn 18. mars 2011 kl. 14:44

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.

Athugasemd eftir liftarn sett inn 18. mars 2011 kl. 15:55

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

Athugasemd eftir liftarn sett inn 18. mars 2011 kl. 15:57

Lake Seabrook done (I think).

Athugasemd eftir liftarn sett inn 18. mars 2011 kl. 16:01

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

Athugasemd eftir Ohr sett inn 18. mars 2011 kl. 20:02

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.

Athugasemd eftir liftarn sett inn 21. mars 2011 kl. 09:02

Lake Gregory done.

Athugasemd eftir Ohr sett inn 25. mars 2011 kl. 20:23

Added Lake Magenta

Athugasemd eftir Ohr sett inn 25. mars 2011 kl. 20:37

Also just traced Lake Noondie

Athugasemd eftir Ohr sett inn 26. mars 2011 kl. 16:40

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.

Athugasemd eftir Ohr sett inn 26. mars 2011 kl. 21:42

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.
