Australia (WA) - Armchairmappers needed

Skrive av kerosin 15 mars 2011 på English Sist oppdatert 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

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 Darlot: ROUGHLY (osm.org/?lon=121.2186&lat=-27.78354&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 Magenta: DONE (osm.org/?lon=119.17565&lat=-33.4663&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 Wells: DONE osm.org/?lat=-26.6724&lon=123.205&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 frå liftarn, 17 mars 2011 kl. 09:24

Dundas and Austin looks mapped.

Kommentar frå liftarn, 17 mars 2011 kl. 09:28

Did Lake Wells.

Kommentar frå kerosin, 17 mars 2011 kl. 09:39

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

first rough outline of Percival Lakes

Kommentar frå alexis78, 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.

Kommentar frå Hokuspokus, 18 mars 2011 kl. 13:08

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

Kommentar frå liftarn, 18 mars 2011 kl. 13:26

Dumbleyung looks done.

Kommentar frå liftarn, 18 mars 2011 kl. 13:32

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

Kommentar frå alexis78, 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.

Kommentar frå liftarn, 18 mars 2011 kl. 15:55

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

Kommentar frå liftarn, 18 mars 2011 kl. 15:57

Lake Seabrook done (I think).

Kommentar frå liftarn, 18 mars 2011 kl. 16:01

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

Kommentar frå Ohr, 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.

Kommentar frå liftarn, 21 mars 2011 kl. 09:02

Lake Gregory done.

Kommentar frå Ohr, 25 mars 2011 kl. 20:23

Added Lake Magenta

Kommentar frå Ohr, 25 mars 2011 kl. 20:37

Also just traced Lake Noondie

Kommentar frå Ohr, 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.

Kommentar frå Ohr, 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.
