The best things in life are free. And the latest update of Google Earth Release 5.0.11337.1968 (beta) is even better, especially for Ubin explorers.
I used to get detailed pictures of Chek Jawa. Then one day, its gone, just blurred out. Conspiracy theories filled my head. Maybe the secretive government made a request as there is a Navy port nearby.
With the new update of Google Earth, you can slide back to earlier satellite imagery(Jul, 2004).
Edit 24 Feb 2009. Google earth satellite updated imagery can be off as much as 30 metres making cartography more challenging. I find Dec 2003/Apr 2004 to be more accurate. Download the KML files and see for yourself.
Here is a screen grab of Chek Jawa during low tide. You can see how extensive it is and why its worth protecting and for future generations to enjoy.
You cannot see it clearly with the later satellite imagery (Feb, 2005). It was taken during hazy conditions and during high tide.
