06:05 AM May 19, 2011SINGAPORE - Two new services have been added to OneMap, an integrated map platform by the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) for public access to government agencies' location-based services and information.
One of the new services, PropertyPrices, shows the transacted prices of both private housing and Housing and Development Board (HDB) resale flats over the past year on a map.
Users can also view information such as the size of the unit, tenure type (freehold or leasehold) and transaction date.
The other, Space2Lease, allows businesses to check for government properties available for rent by the SLA and HDB.
OneMap is now also available on the iPhone, and its infrastructure can be used to develop other other applications on the mobile phone platform. iPhone apps already published using this platform include NParks' Parks Live, URA's Masterplan 2008 and Property Market Information, and Nanyang Polytechnic's Pocket OneMap.
SLA said OneMap has been well received since its launch a year ago and the public has also given useful suggestions to improve it.
One such suggestion taken on was the public transport routing service, which provides travel directions and journey planning on public buses and the MRT, enabling users to choose the route best suited to their needs and calculates the trip fare, estimated travel time and travel distance to their destinations.
