OneMap3D was officially launched on 15 September 2021 by the Minister for Culture, Community and Youth and Second Minister for Law, Mr Edwin Tong. OneMap is the national map of Singapore with the most authoritative and detailed map information.

Developed by the Singapore Land Authority (SLA), the 2D format of OneMap was first launched in 2010. In 2017, an enhanced version was rolled out with an expansion of location-based information and navigational services including real time traffic data, as well as Application Programming Interface (API) for application developers. Building on this foundation, SLA’s geospatial team began exploring new capabilities on using open-source 3D geospatial technology and 3D city modelling for the conversion of OneMap from 2D format to 3D. OneMap3D serves as a dynamic visualisation platform, presenting an immersive experience of a user’s surroundings.

Speaking at the launch of OneMap3D at the Singapore Geospatial Festival 2021 organised by SLA, Minister Edwin Tong said, “The development of OneMap3D marks an important milestone in Singapore’s geospatial journey. It is built on our commitment to enhance our geospatial capabilities and to provide new geospatial solutions for businesses, government, and the public.”
