Q: Which maps app do you use?

Me and the fam just returned from traveling and my wife picked up a second hand iPad mini in Tokyo. I started playing around with it and discovered something wonderful. The maps app is great! I mean fast and smooth and intuitive! I cant even get the google maps app to work on my Huawai. I have to use my vpn for the website and it was never this responsive. Immediately, I wanted to buy an Apple device for this feature alone. I'm so in love. But suddenly, I realized I can go to my internet friends see if they know of any Apple map alternatives. This is so perfect, I dont know why I didnt discover this before.

Apple maps in China is excellent as its Chinese mapping data. I use it regularly in cities. The navigation function is okay but no good when looking for points of interest enroute. 

 

For or navigation I use Autonavi which is where Apple maps gets its data. Free app and easy to use. Defaults to English on my iPhone.

The problem is I don't use an iPhone.  I use a Huawai Android phone.  I never paid much attention to iPhones until my wife came home with the iPad.  I am looking for an Android maps app.  I will look and see if this app is available for Android OS.

Autonavi is available for android. Just be careful where you download it or you'll get the Chinese version!

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
