Google Map showing car park rates

Lately, the Esplande car park rate shot up by up to 50%. If you're a regular visitor, you're likely to look out for other cheaper alternatives nearby. Although there is a comprehensive compilation of car park rates available at One.Motoring, you have to know the names of nearby car parks and search through the list. Wouldn't it be easier if the information can be presented graphically?

Here comes the answer. Someone has made use of Google Map and created a graphical version of the list -- Parking Maps Singapore. The idea is similar to the display of bus stop timing which I've blogged earlier. By mapping the car parks onto the map, you can easily focus on a specific area where you want to park to find out parking rates. Results are available almost immediately. This is especially useful if you wish to find alternative car parks nearby without searching through the long list.

Caution: the car park listed in the Google Map is not exhaustive, and the information is only as updated as what One.Motoring provides.
