How to use it in China

What does map82 do?

Paste a link to a blog post or article about a restaurant, café or sight in China. map82 finds the place's Chinese name and address and its location on Amap (高德地图), China's main map app. If the post covers several places, you get all of them, and you can pick the right branch.

What do I use the Chinese address for?

Show the Chinese screen to a taxi driver, or copy the name and address into Amap or DiDi. Maps and apps from home often can't find places by their English names in China.

What if the post has no Chinese name?

We don't guess. If the post has a map pin or an English or pinyin name we look it up that way; if not, we'll ask for another link that shows the Chinese name or address.

Is it free?

Yes, it's free. Right now there are no ads and it runs on donations; if it does well, we may add some ads later. It also works in Telegram: @map82_bot.

What if a result is wrong?

map82 is still in beta. When there are several branches it asks instead of guessing, but a result can still be wrong. Tell us about wrong results or ideas in Telegram: @map82_bot → /feedback your message.

Where are my saved places kept?

When you tap ☆ Save, the place is kept on this device and on the map82 server. No sign-up or login is needed; the list link is the key. Copy the 🔗 link, open it on another device or app and tap “Use as My list” to keep using the same list. Anyone who has the link can see it, so be careful when sharing.
