  • . According to the Munich Orientation Convention www.volksnav.com/Singapore, the logical address of the Merlion is: - StatusQuo(c) SGP m6:15 r57 that means: - 57 x 100 meters from Orchard station (radius) - in direction m6 (horizon hour, m12 = from Orchard to north) and - 15 x 100 meters "later" than m6 (horizon minutes) Such codes will substitute postal codes, in harmony with maps and codes for crossings, stop points, bridges etc.
