- Paid services.
- The official source is SLA's INLIS. The Singapore Land Authority (SLA) is the source that provides the home-school distances to MOE every year. Parents can enter a postal code or address of their residence and then select the Primary school which they wish to calculate the distance from their property. This is NOT a free service, and costs about $2.10 per computation.
- StreetDirectory. StreetDirectory.com is probably the best known map in Singapore. Unfortunately, the search for educational institutions feature is not a free service, and users have to pay about $0.54 per request.
- Free services. There are several free services out there which allows parents to guage the home-school distances. However, such services cannot be used as official proof of home-school distances for Primary 1 Registration.
- MyLifeStyleMap. This used to be called CAN.COM.SG, and is operated by Greendot Media, a portal company that owns several online websites. In many ways, this is the best free alternative because the map data actually comes from SLA itself. So the results should be quite close to what the schools have.
- StreetDB. StreetDB.com is a new site born of a joint collaboration between SingaporeExpats.com and AGIS, a local mapping company.
