CORPORATE REVIEW:
DRIVING GEOSPATIAL DEVELOPMENT

Using Geospatial Information Science and Technology (GIST), SLA has enhanced Singapore’s geospatial capabilities, improving operational processes, workflow and efficiencies in national development.

NEW ONEMAP


The new OneMap offers authoritative and localised geospatial information.

 

SLA is developing the new OneMap, which would be built in-house using open source technology. It will serve as a common map platform to deliver authoritative, localised and granular geospatial information services. The improved platform boasts enhanced user experience, such as location-aware personalisation and mobile-centric features. Other key features include Create-My-Map for the creation and crowd-sharing of maps, Location-Responsive Search capabilities and Walking Routes.

“The average number of application programming interface (API) hits and usage of OneMap has been growing steadily,” says Dr Gavin Chen, Manager, GeoSpatial and Data. “We are developing the new OneMap and scaling up to support the demand for mapping and geolocation information for use by the public, private, people and research sectors.”
