[Surfing the Web] – GoThere.sg

http://GoThere.sg

Ahh finally, a chance for me to really sit down and write something that I find is really cool on the web and might be useful if you ever find yourself asking the question, ‘How in the world do I get there?’

Well first of, this would really…only apply to those living right here in this little island known as Singapore (hence the .sg of the URL).

Anyways, this site is like an alternative to the already well known – Streetdirectory.com
However, “Founded by Dominic Eh, Toh Kian Khai, Kuan Chih Yuan and Jussi Edlund in May 2008″ [via HWM Nov. 2008], not only gives you detailed directions overlaid on Google Maps but it also has the nice clean web 2.0 interface (more user-friendly-ish). GoThere.sg also allows you to search for restraurants along roads you would find in Singapore and also allows you (yes, thats right you people reading this) to contribute to GoThere.sg by adding in new places and reviews of places.

A glimpse of GoThere.sg,
Asking directions from Chinatown to Plaza Singapura.

Several options that you could use as you might have noticed.

1. Able to select ‘Bus Only’ Route.
2. ‘Bus and Train’ by default.
3. Under ‘Drive’ -> (You can select) ‘Try to Avoid ERP’ routes and ‘Avoid expressways’.
4. Tells you the fare.
5. You can print the page with the directions.

So anyways I hoped i shared some useful information and.., if you ever feel lost and need of some ‘direction’, don’t hesitate to search for your answers at:
