Comment on All Maps in China are Transformed

Comments

I've been in Beijing for the past 3 months, and I've been relying solely on Google Maps to get around. I never had one single problem. If there ever was any discrepancy between maps and the real world, I didn't see it.

I don't doubt there are issues, but in Beijing I haven't seen them.

It's generally not by much, but when you're relying on google maps to get exact coordinates, you might get into trouble.

If you switch between map and satellite mode here, you have a distance of about 390m between the location in both maps.

Yes and there is a fix in a cyanogen modded version.
