Thanks for clarifying! These seem to be related, but the one I found -- by searching for pinyin "gaode" -- gives very little detail about its provenance. Maybe a knockoff? Perish the thought!

Gaode sure looks like an English app when I view it in the App Store, where it's called China Navigation, though the screenshots are in Chinese.

But just this week I found something new in...

Felix, apart from the mapping questions, are you saying that if you let skydrive host your pix you'd not be able to link to them from MCM or other sites? What a shame indeed, but typical for...

Awesome tutorial, ChinaV. How the f*&K did you figure all that out? Don't you have a fulltime job? Do you ever sleep? Anyway, this MCM denizen deeply admires your geotechnical prowess. Wow.
