Lost in OpenStreetMap
I was about to add a few few ways on OpenStreetMap but I don’t know what to do in this situation:
Looks like at least two sources are not correct:
- GPS offset (orange), and/or
- Current ways (green/blue), and/or
- Bing imagery.
So what am I supposed to do in this case?

Merlion
The Merlion (Malay: Singa-Laut) is a mythical creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish, used as a mascot of Singapore. Its name combines “mer” meaning the sea and “lion”. The fish body represents Singapore’s origin as a fishing village when it was called Temasek, which means “sea town” in Javanese. The lion head represents Singapore’s original name — Singapura — meaning “lion city” or “kota singa”. More on wikipedia…

Those new HDB near Ghim Moh look like ant colonies.
And I am happier watching this than bearing with the cold weather that comes with short days in Europe 😉
Singapore Botanic Gardens
So far I have always enjoyed Botanic Gardens and Singapore is no exception; it was worth spending a day there.
View the local set, or see some selection below.
I logged the ways on my GPS, but unfortunately there must be something wrong which prevented me from adding many tracks from this area to OpenStreetMap.
