Zoom out. Using bing.
It may be snow cover (very high probability).

Mapbox shows a different area ... less coverage. That might be a better approximation. Again this is zoomed out.

I assume that the snow covered photos are not used when zoomed in as the snow would cover some features.

This is the part of NSW with which I am least familiar but I can't work out what it is that is being mapped. I couldn't see any relation between Bing imagery and the tracings in your polygon. If it is actually the area above the tree-line, then I don't have a problem with it although perhaps it should be natural=tundra rather than landcover. If it is a reasonably close approximation then OK but if it is a very loose approximation, it might be better to await better information. It would be good to hear from others who are familiar with that landscape.

Hi,

I have made a first attempt at mapping the NSW alpine area.

It comes from Bing imagery - probably snow cover. It is a bit course - so the resolution is not good.

The question is;
Is this good enough for use?

As there is no information in OSM for it ... maybe it is better than nothing?
Or should it be left to await better information?

The area is in the data base as relation 5985104 tagged landcover=tundra (this will not render).
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/5985104#map=10/-36.2121/148.5887

------------------------
It is not a complete area, there are a few bits left off .. in particular to the south. But it might be a start. I don't want to put much more work in on it untill I have some comments on it.

So.. what are your thoughts? Especially negative ones!
