OpenStreetMap
Australia (WA) - Armchairmappers needed
Pubblicatu di kerosin lu 15 March 2011 n English Ùrtimu aggiurnamentu lu 27 March 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.
Cummentu di liftarn lu 17 March 2011 ê 09:24
Dundas and Austin looks mapped.
Cummentu di liftarn lu 17 March 2011 ê 09:28
Did Lake Wells.
Cummentu di kerosin lu 17 March 2011 ê 09:39
HokusPokus did Dundas and Austin. Good job!
Still 4 left

first rough outline of Percival Lakes
Cummentu di alexis78 lu 17 March 2011 ê 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.
Cummentu di Hokuspokus lu 18 March 2011 ê 13:08
Lake Cowan has large areas coverd with I guess salt. I think these areas should be seperated.
Cummentu di liftarn lu 18 March 2011 ê 13:26
Dumbleyung looks done.
Cummentu di liftarn lu 18 March 2011 ê 13:32
Did a rough trace of Disappointment. Very difficult to tell what is land and what is water.
Cummentu di alexis78 lu 18 March 2011 ê 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.
Cummentu di liftarn lu 18 March 2011 ê 15:55
And a rough trance of Lake Mason. Is it really that small?
Cummentu di liftarn lu 18 March 2011 ê 15:57
Lake Seabrook done (I think).
Cummentu di liftarn lu 18 March 2011 ê 16:01
And Lake Marmion. I think the east side may need some improvement.
Cummentu di Ohr lu 18 March 2011 ê 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.

Regarding Lake Mason:

Good work guys!
Cummentu di liftarn lu 21 March 2011 ê 09:02
Lake Gregory done.
Cummentu di Ohr lu 25 March 2011 ê 20:23
Added Lake Magenta
Cummentu di Ohr lu 25 March 2011 ê 20:37
Also just traced Lake Noondie
Cummentu di Ohr lu 26 March 2011 ê 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.
Cummentu di Ohr lu 26 March 2011 ê 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.
