Mike ElganFollowing Google Maps directions in rural Tasmania and encountered this sign.
tastrax@MikeElgan Don’t even think of using GoogleMaps for bushwalking in Tasmania! Thousands of lakes on the map that don’t actually exist.

@tastrax @MikeElgan I'm pretty sure they're...'intermittent' lakes, if that makes sense
that said, it does say that there is a lake at the pinnacle of the mountain, which I'm not so sure about...
@mightyspaceman @tastrax @MikeElgan Nope, just poor mapping of “wet areas” and “marshes” from LIST Open Data https://listdata.thelist.tas.gov.au/opendata/
@tastrax @MikeElgan interesting
@tastrax @MikeElgan I was camping at lake st clair recently and I do remember seeing a whole bunch of nonexistent lakes on the map to the north-west. Went on a section of the overland track to the labyrinth and looking back I can see why some areas would get misinterpreted
