Underwhelming map guide – Beijing offline map and gps city 2go by Beetle Maps, china beijing street travel guide walks, airport transport beijing metro subway lonely planet beijing trip advisor Review

The map has no English labels for streets or other geographic landmarks. So unless it is one of a limited number of pre-selected tourist destinations, it will not be readily found on the offline map. For example, if you search Bird's Nest or Water Cube instead of Beijing National Aquatics Center, you're out of luck. If you search for the Chaoyang Theater (renown acrobatics troupe performance) or for restaurants, don't expect to find it here. If you want to map the directions between two places, again this will not give it to you. What you do get is 1) a nice taxi card display for the pre-selected destinations telling the taxicab driver in Chinese where you want to go; 2) a brief description again only of the pre-selected tourist destinations along with their nearest subway station; 3) weather that day, updated when on wifi; and 4) a currency converter, with updated conversion rates when on wifi.
