Goo gle Maps has returned to China after 8 years
Goo.gle Maps has returned to China after 8 years.
Google is making a major return to China, as a version of its Google Maps service is now available for users in that country. Google Maps, along with most of Google’s other popular services, have not been available in the major market of China since 2010.
Nikkei was the first to report on Google Maps’ return to China. In addition to the China version of the Google Maps site, the company has also launched a map app for iPhones in that country as well. However, it’s not all good news, as the reports says that users who try to access the app’s navigation features are automatically moved to another mapping app. That one is created by AutoNavi, which is operated by China-based Alibaba Group Holding.
