Australia (WA) - Armchairmappers needed

Vum kerosin matgedeelt de(n) 15. Mäerz 2011 op English. Lescht Aktualiséierung de(n) 27. Mäerz 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.

Bemierkung vum liftarn de(n) 17. Mäerz 2011 um 09:24 Auer

Dundas and Austin looks mapped.

Bemierkung vum liftarn de(n) 17. Mäerz 2011 um 09:28 Auer

Did Lake Wells.

Bemierkung vum kerosin de(n) 17. Mäerz 2011 um 09:39 Auer

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

first rough outline of Percival Lakes

Bemierkung vum alexis78 de(n) 17. Mäerz 2011 um 13:43 Auer

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.

Bemierkung vum Hokuspokus de(n) 18. Mäerz 2011 um 13:08 Auer

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

Bemierkung vum liftarn de(n) 18. Mäerz 2011 um 13:26 Auer

Dumbleyung looks done.

Bemierkung vum liftarn de(n) 18. Mäerz 2011 um 13:32 Auer

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

Bemierkung vum alexis78 de(n) 18. Mäerz 2011 um 14:44 Auer

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.

Bemierkung vum liftarn de(n) 18. Mäerz 2011 um 15:55 Auer

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

Bemierkung vum liftarn de(n) 18. Mäerz 2011 um 15:57 Auer

Lake Seabrook done (I think).

Bemierkung vum liftarn de(n) 18. Mäerz 2011 um 16:01 Auer

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

Bemierkung vum Ohr de(n) 18. Mäerz 2011 um 20:02 Auer

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.

Bemierkung vum liftarn de(n) 21. Mäerz 2011 um 09:02 Auer

Lake Gregory done.

Bemierkung vum Ohr de(n) 25. Mäerz 2011 um 20:23 Auer

Added Lake Magenta

Bemierkung vum Ohr de(n) 25. Mäerz 2011 um 20:37 Auer

Also just traced Lake Noondie

Bemierkung vum Ohr de(n) 26. Mäerz 2011 um 16:40 Auer

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.

Bemierkung vum Ohr de(n) 26. Mäerz 2011 um 21:42 Auer

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.
