Given the usefulness that OSM provides, especially in new applications utilising OSM as a data source, the lack of detail in southern Singapore is almost unfathomable. Over the past week I have added a suitable amount of POIs to southern Singapore covering the following locations, filling out holes missing by the previous coverage.
- City areas/CBD areas - Outram, Tanjong Pagar, Raffles Place, Bugis and the Gardens by the Bay
- Southern housing - Bukit Merah, Redhill, Telok Blangah and generally areas bounded by Alexandra Road
- Some other key areas - Novena, Kallang Stadium
- Area blocking key institutions so that the name of the institutes can be seen easier when zoomed out, such as Singapore Polytechnic, Temasek Polytechnic, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, SMU
- Added details to many schools and area blocking them
- Added placemarkers to the new towns of Singapore for easier visual identification of key areas
I hope this can contribute significantly to your experience in using OSM derivatives in Singapore and makes it easier and better for others to improve on this area.
