Maps & Navigation

Because Google Maps is blocked and severely outdated in China, relying on it leads to broken routes and GPS coordinates shift. For iOS users, we explain how Apple Maps leverages localized data to provide flawless, English-language turn-by-turn navigation. For Android users, we provide clear walkthroughs on decoding localized apps like Amap (Gaode) and Baidu Maps using pinyin and iconography.
