There’s been a flurry of activity in building 3D models of Singaporean buildings, mainly driven by a Google Earth user who goes by the name of SNHAETNHLAONNCG. He or she has posted some very impressive models to the Google Warehouse. The models are of a number of Singapore buildings and are.........
The Google Earth Route for the Singapore Marathon 2006 10k and wheelchair race is available as a network link here.

Right now that seat’s in Google Earth, as the Singapore Grand Prix is still something of a pipe-dream. Here’s what the proposed route looks like in Google Earth, you can download the kmz file here.If you don’t have the 3D buildings for Singapore you can download them here..........
Here in Europe, Google's SketchUp site has now been updated to announce SketchUp Pro 6 ($495). The site update is still in the process of being rolled out — there is a navigation tab for the free SketchUp 6, but no link there to a download page. The download page in the Help Center, meanwhile, doesn't lead to a live link yet.But perhaps that's enough of a tease watch …
Someone’s created a font using images of buildings in Google Earth. You can try it here.
Makes me wonder if this could be done using buildings in Singapore. Another excuse to spend more time in Google Earth……
UPDATE: A few minutes searching got me these letters in Singapore. Click on any letter to view the location in Google Earth.
Over at sparklette.net Veron does a great job of reviewing Singapore’s restaurants. I like Veron’s reviews because she goes into a lot of detail and includes a lot of pictures. Recently she posted her Best (and Worst) Restaurants of 2006 and I thought it deserved a map, so with her.........
David over at 南洋之子 kindly pointed me in the direction of this mashup of Singapore properties on Google Maps. Each marker represents an area and you can drill down through the areas to vie …
Singapore street maps may not yet be available through the Google Maps API but they are available on the Google Maps site. And the Google Maps site allows you to “mashup” any kml or kmz file (these are the files you create when you place a marker or any other object in Google Earth).........
I’ve been slowly but steadily adding to the range of Google Maps mashups available on this site. The current list appears at the top of the sidebar on the left.New maps include Singapore Libraries and Museums, in addition to the Mountain Bike routes I blogged about yesterday. The Libraries.........
A few days ago, I cycled off to the Marina Barrage to take a look at the project. This is a very interesting construction project, designed to transform the currently salt-water bay, into an additional fresh-water catchment area. For more information see Wikipedia I was lucky to be there on a.........
OK so I stole this, it’s actually a 3D model of the London Eye which I’ve taken and placed at the site of the Singapore Flyer, but I’m sure it gives you the idea…. You can...

Singapore isn’t short of food review sites, but so far few of them have taken advantage of Google Maps to help their users locate restaurants. The guys over at www.sgmapit.com have made a start by mashing up some of the data from yum.sg. You can view their map here or by clicking on the.........
Maybe Google should be congratulated on a good start with making Google Maps mashups more accessible, but it seems they have a long way to go before My Maps offers a compelling platform for creating mashups. These are a few of the serious issues with the current release.There’s no way to.........
A user going by the name of ‘giasen’ has posted some interesting charts of world oil consumption in the Google Earth Community. He’s used data from the CIA World Fact Book to plot in Google Earth World Oil Consumption By Country and World Oil Consumption Per Capita. You can view.........
Singapore recently got voted the second-best country after Italy for its nightlife and dining in a global survey (the Country Brand Index). Seems a bit surprising to me, but maybe the result is a little more understandable in the light of it being a vote for countries not cities. In response to.........
Google has added a new NASA layer to Google Earth. The new “NASA” layer has three components:Astronaut Photography of EarthSatellite ImageryEarth City LightsThe Earth City Lights imagery is fascinating, here’s a view of how SE Asia looks:To access the NASA imagery select the.........
The Singapore National Environment Agency (NEA) provide a weekly list of Singapore’s Dengue Hotspots, you can access their information here. A location qualifies as a “hotspot” when two or more dengue cases occur within 14 days and the homes of the dengue victims are within 150m.........
Today Google updated their maps data and have included street maps for Thailand and Taiwan. No maps for Malaysia right now but hopefully they’re on the way. In the meantime click on either of the images below to go to the Google Maps view of that country. I can’t comment on the accuracy.........
Well, to be honest, Singapore is hardly a mountain bikers paradise, but there are a few interesting trails around the island and what they may lack in altitude, they make up for in sweat and mud (sweat everyday and mud if you pick the right day). I’ve created maps of three of the most popular.........
