Streetdirectory.com is an online web mapping service, founded by Singapore-headquartered Virtual Map in 2000. It originally used licensed data from Singapore Land Authority (SLA) under a non-exclusive agreement until July 2004. On top of providing free maps for personal use, the website also offers a variety of ad-supported services. The website has since expanded to include maps in Malaysia and Indonesia.
Streetdirectory.com won several lawsuits against other businesses who used Streetdirectory.com's maps without permission resulting in copyright infringement. It then lost a copyright infringement lawsuit by SLA in early 2008 for selling its maps, produced from SLA's maps, after the end of agreement with SLA.
