About the New OneMap
OneMap is an integrated public map platform for government agencies to deliver location-based services and information. It is a multi-agency collaboration with many government agencies currently participating and contributing information. It is also used by the private sector and the community to create useful and value-added services.
The new OneMap is a brand new platform developed using Open Source Technologies by an in-house team of developers in Singapore Land Authority, with new features such as Map Styles, Driving and Journey Planner and BusRouteExplorer among others. The current OneMap has been serving the public since 2010.
The new OneMap provides the most detailed and accurate national map of Singapore, with services and content customised to the local context.
The mobile application, OneMap, is available for download from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
