Deadpoet’s Cave

Every once in a while, I have a poke around Google Earth, wondering what things in Singapore - and elsewhere - look like from high above. While this is fun, I have noticed that geographic information for Singapore is totally lacking.

Well, a hardworking Google Earth Community user, chionh, has compiled local placemarks in a Google Earth file (.kmz) for Singapore. It lists *take a deep breath* consulates, embassies & high commissions, convention centres, districts, educational institutions, geographic features, government offices, hospitals, industrial estates, parks & reserves, places of worship, recreation areas, residential areas, sightseeing and transportation.

Despite omissions in each of these categories, it’s an impressive effort from chionh and a few others.

If you have Google Earth, you can download the .kmz file here. More information is available from the Google Earth Community Forum thread. I found out about this nifty overlay from the Google Earth Blog.

Oh, and if you are a football fan who uses Google Earth, you might want to check this out. (Yes, it includes small ones in Singapore.)
