Launched in 2010 by the Singapore Land Authority, OneMap is the government's authoritative national base map, built on open-source software. It exposes a free REST API — base maps, address search and geocoding, routing, reverse geocode and 110+ thematic layers (schools, health, amenities, population) — that SLA says powers over 100 government and private apps and services. A 2017 revamp added real-time traffic, and OneMap3D, a 3D visualisation layer, launched in September 2021.
