Don’t even think of using GoogleMaps for bushwalking in Tasmania! Thousands of lakes on the map that don’t actually exist.

LOL, that screenshot looks more like Canada.

Edit: unlike the immediate area you screenshotted, the area just northwest of it (Walls of Jerusalem National Park) looks like it legitimately does have a whole bunch of lakes, 'cause they show up in the aerial photography as well as the map layer. What’s up with that? Are they glacial or karst or what?
