Sneak peek update: Car park entrances, improved markers and new maps

Hot on the heels of our previous update, we're now back with more goodies for you on sneak.gothere.sg.

Car Park Entrances

From the popular shopping belts of Orchard Road and City Hall area to the skyscrapers in the CBD, drivers often find it difficult to get to the elusive car park entrance. We understand the pain of driving in circles at crowded areas and cursing, "I see the building, but where is the car park entrance!?"

You've been asking for driving routes to be integrated with the car park entrances, and that's exactly what we've done. Searching for directions to buildings in the Orchard Shopping District and CBD area will now give you instructions on how to reach the building's car park.

For example, when searching for directions from Orchard Road to Chinatown Point, the old directions will only bring you to New Bridge Road.



Our new directions now bring you directly to the Chinatown Point car park. This just makes life much better, doesn't it?



Improved transport markers

Our map markers now show you more information such as bus numbers and train lines. In addition, we've also improved the look of the routes so that they stand out more clearly on the maps.


New maps

We have also released new maps for both gothere.sg and sneak.gothere.sg. As previously mentioned, we hope the new map design will improve visual organisation and reduce clutter.

Improved map performance

Lastly, we are continously working towards improving the performance of our maps and webpages. Our new maps now load and render 25% faster!

Hope you enjoy our updates. We'll be rolling out more stuff and moving sneak out of beta shortly.

    When is traffic data going to be integrated with Gothere as seen with today's launch of traffic data on Google Maps?

    I [heart] gothere because the information is presented in a reassuring way. The IA part of me appreciates the elegance of the way you've integrated the data; the 'map phobe' likes the way you present this data - whereas google transport just shows that scary map of SG.
