Gothere Blog

No more sneaking around. It's official.

2009-12-22T17:33:00.049+08:00

The new year is just round the corner and it's about time we stopped sneaking around, pun intended. We would like to thank everyone who sent in their feedback, telling us what you thought about sneak and how we could improve it. After squashing tonnes of bugs and making numerous improvements, we're now ready to unveil sneak as the new gothere.sg.

For those who missed our first post introducing the new gothere.sg, the goal of this redesign is really to make it easier for you to find the things you want, and to improve the experience of browsing and searching for anything in Singapore.

We have since gotten lots of suggestions and feedback, and have made a few improvements to sneak over the past few weeks:

Apart from tweaking our search algorithms and fixing bugs, we've also included a few new things for gothere.sg.

Carpark entrances and rates

Carpark roads in HDB estates have made it into our maps, so you'll be getting more accurate driving directions, down to the entrance of the carpark. More commercial carpark entrances around the island have also been included.

To make things even better, we'll list up to 5 carparks near your destination. You can check the rates and choose which carpark you'd like to park at.

Expressway entrances in directions

Have you ever taken the wrong turn to PIE (Tuas) when you were supposed to head east to PIE (Changi Airport)? We've added expressway entrances into our directions so you won't be making the wrong turn again.

Real-time information in tool tips

When you hover your mouse over the bus stops, carparks, ERP icons and more, you'll get tidbits of real-time information in a tool tip. This is especially useful for carparks and ERP gantries as you'll be seeing the current rates and charges.

Search for bus stops

You can now search for bus stops with their 5-digit bus stop numbers.

Embed and current location

Existing features on gothere.sg which were not present in sneak have been added in as well. You can now get your current location (on Mozilla Firefox) and also share our maps by embedding them on your website.

We love the new gothere.sg and we hope you do as well. The older version is still available for now if you're reluctant to switch.

We'd like to thank each and every one of you who have contributed feedback and suggestions. It has been immensely helpful. That's all folks, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Sneak peek update: Street View!

2009-12-02T15:54:00.000+08:00

We've updated sneak with Google Street View!

To display the Street View layer, click on the "camera" icon on the map controls, and you'll see the roads where imagery is available. Clicking anywhere along the highlighted roads will open up the imagery for that spot.

You can zoom in, pan around and move to other locations. To return to the maps, click on the close button.

As some of you may know, we were driving around Singapore in our minivan-with-cameras last December in order to release our own maps and street images. Well, what do you know, we crossed paths with the Google Street View vehicle!

We're not totally done with the integration yet, but we hope this update will go a long way in helping you find places more easily. Thanks Google!

Sneak peek update: Show me the traffic!

2009-12-01T16:08:00.004+08:00

We've been getting loads of emails requesting for real time traffic information. We have a bunch of ideas for a better integration of real time traffic information, but unfortunately that will have to wait. In the meantime, we decided that you shouldn't have to wait! Hence, we are borrowing some sugar from our friendly giant's cafe latte.

To display the traffic layer, click on the 'traffic light' icon.

Hope this update will sweeten your day. =)

Sneak peek update: Switch directions, Close map info window

2009-11-26T21:14:00.003+08:00

Hi everyone, we're listening to your feedback! We have just added buttons for switching directions, and closing the info window on the map.

Switch directions

Close info window

We hope your experience on sneak.gothere.sg is now a little more complete with these updates. =]

Hello, Google!

2009-11-19T16:47:00.016+08:00

Google announced real time traffic and public transport routing for Singapore yesterday. Google is a big, scary, but-not-evil monster and they are here to eat us for lunch. :P

Now that we have gotten that out of the way, it's actually an exciting time for Gothere. We have been expecting this launch for some time. With Google here, we can finally check out how we fare in the face of the giant.

We feel that Google's introduction will be a net positive for Gothere and the industry as a whole. As they bring more attention to the industry, it will be easier for Gothere as a small startup to reach out and work together with the bigger players. Also, there will now be plenty of people who will be inclined to try out the different map and directions websites because of the amount of media attention they will bring.

We are working diligently on a number of initiatives that we are confident will make Gothere even more helpful for our users. We are listening to you with big ears. Whether it's something that we are doing right, or something that's awfully wrong, we are always willing to listen. It's the only way we can make something that's always relevant to the people who matters - you.

As Mr Lee mentioned about Singapore, we have to make changes constantly to remain relevant and useful to the world. Rest assured that we are not staying put, we will always be evolving to make things better and easier for you.

You can probably say that Google is like your favourite coffee chain where you know you can definitely get a cafe latte in any of its stores, whether you're in sunny San Francisco or bustling Beijing. But nothing beats that cup of kopi-o siu dai from the nearby kopitiam uncle who knows you best.

[Iconic photo of Kopitiam Uncle from Liyin]

Location-based services is where the action is at the moment, and we're really happy to be in the thick of things pushing the industry forward! In all, we think that this is great news for Singaporean commuters, who will now have more choices in finding directions and locating places!

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

2009-11-18T03:58:00.047+08:00

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.

We have new maps on Gothere!

2009-11-07T00:12:00.002+08:00

To wrap up the week, we're introducing new maps for Gothere!

We're adjusting the look of our maps to make it easier to find the information you need. For example, we've optimised the road widths and building contours so as to improve visual organisation and reduce clutter, and we've made our maps less saturated so that important overlays such as directions and search results are more readable.

Here are a bunch of screenshots for you to see the changes.

We're not done with all the adjustments so it's only on sneak.gothere.sg for now. Nevertheless, we hope you like the direction we're heading. =] Have a great weekend ahead!

Sneak peek update: Print and Share

2009-11-04T21:37:00.003+08:00

Hey everyone, thanks for all the comments on sneak.gothere.sg so far! We know that there are still lots to work on, so check back regularly as we make improvements each week.

This week, we're adding a few more functions to make sneaky a little more shareable – "print", "share via email" and "get link".

Print out your maps

Our print-friendly directions include a large map for the route overview, as well as close-up maps for all the direction steps. You can also adjust the maps by dragging and zooming around. We even include the option to remove the maps if you want just the text.

And it's not just directions. We have print-friendly pages for places and businesses too.

Share with friends

We know that it's important to be able to share places and directions on gothere.sg by copying the link, so we've added this in for sneaky as well. Clicking on "get link" will give you a link that you can share with your friends.

Send an email

We have also made it easy to send information and links to your friends via email. Just tell us your friend's email address and we'll send her an email with a summary and a link to the page you're currently looking at.

That's it for now. As usual, please let us know if you have any feedback via Twitter, Facebook or email. Of course, you can comment here if you'll like to. =]

Sneak a peek!

2009-10-29T10:32:00.001+08:00

You may have noticed that we've been rather quiet lately. Well, that's because we've been busy improving and building the next version of Gothere.

Our goal is to make things on our maps easier to find. We also hope to improve the experience of browsing and looking for anything in Singapore. Here are a few things that you'll find at the new site:

Explore shops and amenities around a place.
Browse and narrow your searches with categories such as food, entertainment, retail, and more.
Search for everything in a single text box – whether you are looking for places, or directions.
Mix and match recent searches in your Backpack.

Here's a short screencast for you to see how the new design works.

Of course, nothing beats trying it for yourself over at http://sneak.gothere.sg/. As we're using the latest and greatest in web technologies, the new website will only support the latest versions of Firefox, Safari and Chrome (and Chrome Frame!). We'll add support for the other browsers as we go along.

We have a bunch of cool stuff that we'll be adding shortly but we want to gather and listen to your feedback and suggestions first. So please try it out and let us know what you think!

Interactive map of the JobsCentral Career & Learning Fair

2009-08-17T10:31:00.001+08:00

The folks from JobsCentral are organising the JobsCentral Career & Learning Fair at Suntec City this weekend (Aug 22 - 23)! The organisers promise lots of valuable face-time with the exhibitors, so you can be sure that this will be a good opportunity to meet potential employers and discover an array of higher education option. If you are looking for a job or further education, admission is free so go ahead and register now!

We've collaborated with JobsCentral to create an interactive map of the fair right here on gothere.sg. Remember what we did two weeks ago with the NUS campus maps? Well, this time, we're going for even more details!

Zoom right in at Suntec City and you'll see the floor plan of the fair.

To take a better look at the booths and exhibitors, zoom in closer. Interested in a particular booth? Click on the orange circle to view more information about the exhibitor.

You can use the maps to plan your visit, making sure that you have allocated sufficient time to visit all the companies that interest you.

Check out the fair now! Browse your way to Suntec City on our maps and click on the funky zebra, or zoom your way right into the fair area!

Campus Buzz

2009-07-23T11:56:00.001+08:00

August is typically when the school term starts for universities in Singapore. This often means thousands of doe-eyed freshmen entering their campuses for the first time, and getting lost in these huge and unfamiliar places. At Gothere, we do what we can to help people get around places, so this time is no different. Today, we're releasing better maps and directions for the National University of Singapore (NUS).

You can search for locations within NUS such as building names and block numbers. We also think that it's pretty nifty to be able to search for your lecture theatres.

That's not all, we're even doing directions! Let's say you've just finished your lecture at LT23 in the Faculty of Science and you're hungry for some laksa yong tau fu at the Arts Canteen. Just do a search for "NUS LT23" to "NUS Arts Canteen", and Gothere will tell you which NUS shuttle bus service to take to your destination.

If you are planning a route for the next day, don't forget to include the time you think you'll be leaving, as Gothere takes time into consideration the shuttle frequencies and service times.

Don't worry we haven't forgotten you, law students. The NUS Bukit Timah Campus also has new maps with searchable building names and locations.

We really love the detail that these maps show. Zoom into the maps and you'll see nicely drawn and labeled buildings. Hopefully, this is something that we can eventually roll out for all the other varsities, polytechnics and ITEs.

That's all we have for now. NUS students, we hope that you'll find this update pretty useful. If we had tools like this when we were freshmen, serendipity could have been achieved with much less effort.

Gothere now 3X more useful than before

2009-07-21T14:11:00.000+08:00

In June, we wrote a blog post saying that we intend to re-evaluate the way we calculate and display our directions. We've since been hard at work making changes to our routing engine and today, we're really excited to be unveiling a few features that we've been working on for the past month.

1. See alternative routes

When we launched the smartest, fastest and cheapest directions options, they were meant to provide more choices to the user. However, there are many instances where the "smartest" option is also the "fastest" or "cheapest", resulting in less choices for the user to choose from. We realised that we could do better, so as of today we're doing away with these options and will instead offer multiple alternative routes.

The alternative routes are presented in a text summary so that you'll be able quickly see important details such as the number of transfers.

To see how a route compares with another, just move your mouse over the option and the route will be overlayed on the map.

2. Variable waiting time for bus and trains

We previously introduced waiting times into the total journey time because we wanted to make it more representative of the actual journey time. We knew that adding a fixed waiting time wasn't the best solution, but it helped lay the foundation towards providing better results. We are finally ready, and the waiting times are now based on actual bus and train frequencies. We'd like to thank all who've provided feedback on how to improve our waiting times.

3. Time-sensitive public transport directions

If you have used our driving or taxi directions, you may have realised that our taxi fare estimations and ERP costs were based on the time of the day. We're pleased to be bringing this functionality to our bus and train directions!

This means you'll now be able to search for special bus services that operate only on weekdays, or after hours (such as the SMRT Night Rider services).

Do let us know what you think of this new update. Remember to try it out before you go somewhere today! Have fun!

Even the desktop is now location-aware

2009-07-02T07:01:00.002+08:00

Hey Firefox 3.5 users, do you know that your browser now supports location-aware browsing? If you visited gothere.sg with your newly updated browser you would have realized when Firefox asked if you wanted to share your location with us.

We rearranged our map buttons to make space for that shiny new "Get My Location" button. Clicking on the button will trigger the Firefox prompt asking if you're willing to share your location with us. Once you do that, you'll be able to see your approximate location on the map.

If you click on the current location marker, you'll also be able to see an approximate address of your location. Click on the address to access our nearby amenities feature. You can also start searching right away for directions from that address.

So what are you waiting for, get Firefox now!

Location, location, location...

2009-06-19T09:12:00.000+08:00

We all woke up to the good news of Apple's announcement on the availability of the new iPhone OS 3.0 yesterday morning, which means that Mobile Safari is now location-aware for users who have upgraded to the new OS. To take advantage of this new feature, we've made our mobile site location-aware as well.

From today onwards, iPhone and iPod Touch users running the new OS will be able to use their current location when searching for directions on gothere.sg/m.

When prompted, simply allow gothere.sg/m to use your current location, and the search will be based on the location provided by your iPhone.

Note that this feature will only activated if you have upgraded to the new OS. If you haven't upgraded, you won't be able to see the link to "get your current location".

Besides a location-aware gothere.sg/m, there are plenty of other goodies that the iPhone OS 3.0 brings. So check it out now!

What's your exit strategy?

2009-06-11T16:03:00.000+08:00

To make our maps a little more informative, we've added MRT exit locations today. Browse the areas around MRT stations, and you'll find little icons representing their respective exits.

Do note that the icons only appear after you zoom in on the map. Take a look and tell us what you think of this new addition.

Our new and improved mobile website

2009-06-04T12:44:00.003+08:00

If you haven't used gothere.sg on your mobile phone, this was how our mobile site looked like. It was clean, efficient and did its job well. Unfortunately, it only provided bus and train directions, and many of you have been requesting for something more fully featured. Today, we're unveiling a new and improved mobile website.

The new gothere.sg/m retains its clean look, while adding a dash of colour to make information more readable, and also to keep things interesting. You can also now get directions for all 4 modes of transport on gothere.sg - bus, train, taxi and driving. Here's what changed.

Bus and Train directions

Bus and train directions are the same as before, but with nicer formatting. We've also updated these directions to include the approximate bus waiting time.

Taxi directions

Taxi fare estimations are based on time and location, so you'll be able to take note of all the surcharges applicable. If you are using an iPhone, click (or tap) on the LTA taxi booking hotline to dial for a taxi immediately.

Driving directions

We have also included driving directions as on gothere.sg, all formatted nicely for your phone. Now, you can always check out the total ERP charges for your journey, all nicely calculated for your convenience.

Not-so-Static Maps

While we don't support drag-able/pan-able maps on the mobile browser yet, we've added the next best thing: the ability to zoom in and out of the map. We have also increased the size of the map so you can look out for more landmarks around you.

And there's more!

Good browser, Bad browser

Don't blame us for being biased, but modern smartphones like the iPhone and Android¹ phones really have better browsers that are capable of cool things. Visiting gothere.sg on the iPhone will now bring you to a prettier mobile site.

Auto-suggest for the iPhone

This isn't a new feature but we have given it a facelift. Our auto-suggest feature brings up a list of suggested places based on your current query, so you can cut down on the number of keystrokes.

iPhone home screen icon

We also came up with a new icon that appears when you add gothere.sg to your home screen on the iPhone. We made a few variations, eventually settling for the right most one.

Go visit gothere.sg on your mobile phone now and tell us if you like what you see.

[1] If any of you want these features on an Android phone, please donate one for us to test with! We promise to take good care of her, and to work really fast to make gothere.sg look good on it. :)

What, you mean I need to wait?

2009-06-03T18:48:00.000+08:00

Last month, we silently improved our public transport directions by taking into account the approximate waiting time for buses. This helped us to better estimate the total journey time, allowing us to provide better route choices to our users.

Because these changes were made under the hood, some of you may have been perplexed by the increased journey time for your usual routes. To address this confusion, we are introducing a small change in the way we are displaying our public transport directions.

Deconstructing your bus journey

Even though the waiting time is currently fixed at 10 min for feeder services and 15 min for all other services, you can already get a sense of the amount of time spent waiting in your daily commute.

It was a quick survey, wasn't it?

2009-06-03T01:52:00.001+08:00

Thank you all for participating in our survey, we learned a lot.

From the survey, we know that many of you find our service indispensable, and that you will be disappointed if gothere.sg is no longer around. We are really encouraged by the responses. We promise to keep innovating in order to provide you a better and even more useful service. We know that many of you have been recommending gothere.sg to your friends, and we hope you'll continue to do so.

Our main motivation in carrying out the survey is to understand what is most important to you. Having heard you, we've decided to be a little more open about what we're working on at the moment.

Directions
Finding directions is the one thing that gothere.sg is best known for, and we intend to keep improving in this area. In the weeks to come we will be re-evaluating the way we calculate our routes and how we are displaying our directions. There are also a number of heavily requested features that we'll be working on, including things like alternative routes and more user contribution.

Mobile
We have a lightweight mobile site (gothere.sg/m) at the moment that is designed specifically for mobile browsers. However, it only serves bus and train directions, and there have been many requests for our mobile site to be improved. Rest assured we are working hard to beef up our mobile site to match the features available on our main site. We are really close to a new release, so hang in there.

The iPhone
Yes, we know that our iPhone-loving users have been expecting a Gothere app for some time now. We're iPhone users as well, and trust us, we'd really like to bring gothere.sg to the iPhone. Recent announcements from Apple regarding the iPhone OS 3.0 have changed the rules of the game, and we had to adjust our plans as a result.

Expect to see lots of updates for the month of June, we've got a long list of stuff planned out. Once again, we really appreciate all your support! Alright, back to work.

Reduction in ERP Rates: The June school holidays are upon us!

2009-05-30T01:50:00.000+08:00

As announced by the LTA, there will a reduction in ERP rates for the June '09 school holidays in a number of locations. There is a price adjustment of up to $1.00 per Passenger Car Unit, for the period of 30 May 2009 to 27 June 2009. Looks like a good time for all you parents to grab some extra sleep for this month.

Find out more about the revised rates by clicking on the ERP gantry locations on our maps. Alternatively, just search on gothere.sg for your regular route and see if there are any changes to your ERP charges.

We're also thinking of better ways to display ERP information in our directions. Let us know if you have any suggestions!

Circle Line Stage 3 Opening

2009-05-27T19:36:00.003+08:00

The Circle Line Stage 3 stations will be open to the public from tomorrow onwards, and we have been working the entire week in order to get the station locations, train routes and fare stages into our maps and directions!

To give a brief overview, the new Circle Line stations are Marymount (CC16), Bishan (NS17/CC15), Lorong Chuan (CC14), Serangoon (NE12/CC13) and Bartley (CC12). Here's the entire stage 3 Circle Line route from Bartley to Marymount on our maps.

Here at Gothere (what a mouthful), we like to do comparisons with hard and concrete data to see how changes in routes affect a commuter's journey time and cost.

Bishan Junction 8 to Serangoon Central - Bus Service 58

Previously, a trip from Bishan Junction 8 to Serangoon Central would take 18 min via bus service 58, and costs $0.91.

Bishan Junction 8 to Serangoon Central - Bishan (NS17) to Serangoon (NE12) via Dhoby Ghaut (NE6/NS24)

Alternatively, if you were to travel by the MRT, you would need to take a train on the NS line towards Marina Bay and make a train transfer at Dhoby Ghaut for the NE line towards Punggol. The entire journey takes 28 min and costs $1.60.

Bishan Junction 8 to Serangoon Central - Bishan (NS17/CC15) to Serangoon (NE12/CC13)

With the Circle Line, the same trip will now only take 4 min, and costs $0.83. Fare reductions aside, the real savings are really with the journey time. Your commute time is now shaved off by a good 14 min if you used to take bus service 58.

So what are you waiting for? Visit gothere.sg now, and check if there's any improvement to your existing commute in either fare or time taken!

On a side note, developers using our Maps API will be pleased to know that these maps and directions updates on gothere.sg are automatically propagated to our API as well. You don't have to change a single line of code to enjoy these updates. Visit our API page to learn more, or talk to us directly.

Using Gothere maps anywhere is now as easy as 1, 2...

2009-05-26T09:17:00.000+08:00

Well... 1. pick the URL, 2. put it in an <img> tag. There's no 3!

We understand that sometimes, all you want is just an image of a map to be used on your website, or to be sent around as an email attachment. The Gothere Static Maps API allows you to do just that! The API creates map images that can simply be used in an <img> tag. No Javascript needed. And it works on all browsers that can display images, and that includes most mobile browsers as well. Here are some examples of map images that can be created.

Here's a map image of Plaza Singapura.

You can add various types of markers to point out certain locations in your map.

Or even draw a route on the map.

To make your own images, dive right into our documentation where you can find more examples, and start using our maps anywhere you want!

Where is the nearest ATM?

2009-05-19T20:17:00.001+08:00

Locating useful amenities around a certain location has certainly been one of the most popular feature requests. Having just launched this feature in our API, we are now rolling it out to all our users.

In addition to telling you where a specific address is, we have included the nearest ATMs, petrol kiosks, supermarkets, and other useful amenities into our results. We are offering 6 different types of amenities at the moment. We are definitely looking at other useful types of amenities as well. Tell us what you'll like to see by dropping us an email at feedback@gothere.sg.

Do you like this new feature? Or do you think it's destroying your experience with us? We have made it easier for you to voice your opinion. At the bottom of the list of amenities, we have included a simple survey box. Simply click "yes" or "no" to let us know if this is a feature that you care about.

Go on, try it out and let us know what you think!

Ahoy! The Gothere Maps API is finally here

2009-05-16T13:01:00.000+08:00

We are launching the Gothere Maps API today, allowing developers to do all sorts of innovative things with our maps and services. Think you can build a better interface to Gothere? Want to create an interactive map of dengue cases in Singapore? Now you can! Best of all, it's free!

Our API include a geocoding service, so you can start placing stuff on our maps. We are also allowing developers to retrieve directions through our API. Public transport directions, driving directions, taxi fare estimation, avoid ERP gantries and highways, it's all there!

We even have a kick ass feature where you can search for amenities around a certain location in all but 2 lines of code. Try our interactive example!

If you are a developer, dive right into the Gothere Maps API documentation. We have put up a bunch of examples to make it easier for you to get your feet wet. There's no need to sign up for keys and getting started is as easy as inserting a script tag. Our Maps API is also mostly compatible with the Google Maps API. We do not wish to lock our users into using our services, switching between our Maps API and Google Maps API should be made as easy as possible.

Our Maps API is a work in progress, and we will be making changes, introducing more exciting features, and fixing bugs too. Send us your feedback through our developer forum, or file an issue at our issue tracker.

We have devoted a lot of time into the API. Here's a look at the pretty icons we made! In all, there are a total of 755 icons in 10 colours for you to play with.

This is a major step forward for Gothere and we're all very eager to see the innovative and beautiful applications that you are creating on top of our Maps API. So tell us what you're building with the API! Have fun, and happy coding!

Last but not least, we will like to thank all those who have participated in one way or another. Special thanks to Pecan, who has sacrificed much of his sleeping time to conduct the draw.
