Does Baidu Maps have an English version?
No. Baidu Maps (百度地图) is a Chinese-only app with no English interface. The practical route is to paste a blog or article link into map82 and get the place's Chinese name, address and map location.

What Baidu Maps is actually good for
Baidu Maps is China's #2 map app, strongest for street-level panoramas (全景). Useful for checking an alley or storefront that Amap misses — but the app and website are entirely in Chinese.
What works instead
- Paste a blog or article link into map82 to get the Chinese name and address.
- Open the Amap link for the location; use the Baidu marker link when you want the panorama view.
- For taxis, show the large Chinese address card.

FAQ
Can I switch Baidu Maps to English?
There's no official English or Korean mode. The menus stay in Chinese regardless of settings.
Do I need Baidu Maps at all?
Not necessarily. Amap is more accurate for locations; Baidu is a backup for its panorama view.
Does map82 give a Baidu link too?
Yes. Every result includes both an Amap link and a Baidu Maps marker link.
