OpenStreetMap
Australia (WA) - Armchairmappers needed
kerosin ಅವರಿಂದ 15 ಮಾರ್ಚ್ 2011 ರಂದು English ನಲ್ಲಿ ಪೋಸ್ಟ್ ಮಾಡಲಾಗಿದೆ Last updated on 27 ಮಾರ್ಚ್ 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

Great idea!
I've had a crack at Lake Cowan.

Dundas and Austin looks mapped.

Did Lake Wells.

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

first rough outline of Percival Lakes

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.

Lake Cowan has large areas coverd with I guess salt. I think these areas should be seperated.
liftarnಅವರಿಂದ 13:26 ರಲ್ಲಿ 18 ಮಾರ್ಚ್ 2011ರಂದು ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯ
Dumbleyung looks done.
liftarnಅವರಿಂದ 13:32 ರಲ್ಲಿ 18 ಮಾರ್ಚ್ 2011ರಂದು ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯ
Did a rough trace of Disappointment. Very difficult to tell what is land and what is water.
alexis78ಅವರಿಂದ 14:44 ರಲ್ಲಿ 18 ಮಾರ್ಚ್ 2011ರಂದು ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯ
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.
liftarnಅವರಿಂದ 15:55 ರಲ್ಲಿ 18 ಮಾರ್ಚ್ 2011ರಂದು ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯ
And a rough trance of Lake Mason. Is it really that small?
liftarnಅವರಿಂದ 15:57 ರಲ್ಲಿ 18 ಮಾರ್ಚ್ 2011ರಂದು ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯ
Lake Seabrook done (I think).
liftarnಅವರಿಂದ 16:01 ರಲ್ಲಿ 18 ಮಾರ್ಚ್ 2011ರಂದು ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯ
And Lake Marmion. I think the east side may need some improvement.
Ohrಅವರಿಂದ 20:02 ರಲ್ಲಿ 18 ಮಾರ್ಚ್ 2011ರಂದು ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯ
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.

Good work guys!

Lake Gregory done.
Ohrಅವರಿಂದ 20:23 ರಲ್ಲಿ 25 ಮಾರ್ಚ್ 2011ರಂದು ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯ
Added Lake Magenta
Ohrಅವರಿಂದ 20:37 ರಲ್ಲಿ 25 ಮಾರ್ಚ್ 2011ರಂದು ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯ
Also just traced Lake Noondie
Ohrಅವರಿಂದ 16:40 ರಲ್ಲಿ 26 ಮಾರ್ಚ್ 2011ರಂದು ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯ
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.

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.
