JAKARTA4.EXE holds one very old map - not reccomended, since it is less up-to-date and will take priority over some maps.

JAKARTA4.EXE (153,256 bytes) Not Reccomended

Here is a tip for those of you already using the old JAKARTA.EXE or JAVA.EXE mapping: if you simply add the new mapping, some of the old maps, like JAKARTAC "Jakarta City" will take priority, unless you zoom out (Z key) to the later maps. Here is easiest way to remove old maps: delete JAKARTAC.DES (and if you wish JAKARTAC.BMP). Delete MAPS.DIR. Next time you run GPSS, it will automatically make a new MAPS.DIR based on the DES files it finds.

Singapore - Updated 5 March 1999

We are pleased to report that Singapore mapping and use of GPSS is again freely available for those in direct email contact with Robin. Exclusive use of GPSS within Singapore by GPS Technologies terminated at the end of 1998. You may wish to contact Jeffrey Tan of GPS Technologies via contact information on our news page. They have the 'Searcher' Car-PC product, more detailed mapping, and may have alternative GPS Software to GPSS. Anyone wishing to use GPSS within Singapore will need to contact Robin, to obtain information to permit GPSS to be used, since it has protection against unauthorised use.

It is suggested that you download and use the 4.9 Baseline of GPSS.

Here are 6 maps and 7 sounds, with a little more detail than the one map originally on this web site. A demonstration is in SINGAPOR.NME, and you may wish to help Robin test these maps, then add more detail.
