Blk 463 Sembawang Drive

you can try to seach for this place
463 Sembawang DRive
and you see if you can find the right place
and not 463 Sembawang RD

few background

A. It depend very much on individual app
when search using HDB block

1. Google



2. Waze


3. streetdirectory



For commerce reason, most place if there is a business place
that it will show properly on all map app




B. Since HDB block (or blk) is unique to Singapore
Also in address the first number can be the land plot number before 
the place is developing into a building

So this problem can be confusing 
it can be case by case basics

At this moment I find that Waze give me more option
to keep improving Singapore maps community

Hope more and more people will join in to improve it

Cheers !

Hi TinKohPeaceful,

You received a comment on the map issue you reported, from 01.03.2015 on Sembawang Dr, Sembawang - "I choose 3 times463 sembawang drive keep pointing to 463 sembawang road ". An editor from the Waze mapping community wants to solve the problem, but needs some more information.

I suggest the following: Personally, I entered "Blk & Town" in Waze and searched using Google. Direct Waze results of blocks isn't useful..

You can reply using the Waze mobile app, or https://www.waze.com/editor/?zoom=5&lat=1.453498&lon=103.815363&mapUpdateRequest=4498776&env=row in the Waze map editor.
