Description
Need a reliable map app in China that gets you where you need to go? Want to ride public transportation anywhere in China but don't know Chinese? Not yet in China but need to plan your trip? LingoMap is just for you!
LingoMap is a map app for foreigners who cannot read Chinese to use in China. It is a translation of Alibaba Maps (known as AMap and 高德地图). It shows place, transit route, and street names in the original Chinese, Mandarin Pinyin, and English.
- Get directions for taking buses, trains, subways, trams, by walking, and by taxi - Find places by searching in English, pinyin, or Chinese characters - Discover restaurants entertainment venues, business destinations, and other places useful for foreigners in China - Match translations of Chinese characters in search results and directions based on their color - Share any place with friends: they can get directions to your place in just a couple clicks!
You also can: - Bookmark/save places - Long-press to translate anything on the map - Get directions by train between cities - Get a taxi card with translations for showing to cab drivers - Browse search categories to discover something new - View different map types including satellite imagery and the Chinese language Alibaba map
Known issues - while LingoMap should generally work fine for everyone, there are some things we're still working on: - Not yet tested on tablets or non-standard phone size screens - If you have scaled your device's font size by changing the size via system settings, the app UI layout may not appear correctly. With default font size settings, the app should appear according to the screenshots shown in the app store. - Sometimes switching map types will cause the app to crash. If the app crashes, simply re-open it and try selecting the map type again. - As we download map data from different sources, sometimes some visuals such as metro lines and stations may not appear. Try running the app on and off your VPN if you have one. (In general the app should run fine without a VPN.)

Recent changes: - Search directions bug fixes - Styling to match recently released iOS version - Locking text font sizes so the layout remains unaffected when the user changes the system font size settings - Fixed info being cut off at the bottom of the search result/direction details bottom sheets - Improved opening place link handling - Only display the "Defaulting to Beijing" prompt once instead of multiple times when the location permission is denied - Red loading spinner fix

Lingo Map is a very useful resource that really helps me to bridge the gap between English apps such as English Didi and Google Maps, and Chinese Apps like Baidu. Often an address is given in Chinese but won't show up in English Didi.

This app is what expats in China have waited years for: Fully-featured English maps. I started with the beta, and it's changed my life for the better.
★☆☆☆☆Mike VA· Nov 27, 2023
It used to be useful for getting English-language directions around Shenzhen, China. But then it stopped working completely for directions. I still use it very occasionally if I need to look at a map in English but without the directions feature, it is borderline useless.
★★☆☆☆Said Omeiri· Aug 14, 2023
The app doesn't work like before. If you search any city, it doesn't work, even if you search Beijing. It used to function very well. This is the best map, please fix it asap!
★★☆☆☆Csaba Sovago· Mar 18, 2024
The search never returnes anything. It seems that the search API is broken.
★☆☆☆☆Andrew Miller· Oct 1, 2023
The app doesn't work- if you search something, it says "no results found", and if you press a place on the map, you cannot receive directions to it
★☆☆☆☆justin miller· Jan 30, 2022
Good idea but doesn't work, permission to access location given, and it can't even locate me. What's the point?
