Amap 高德地图 is a string alternative. Unlike Baidu, it won’t disable your GPS for other apps. After installing Baidu, Strava and other apps will say “no GPS signal” in Android devices.

I use mAPs.me. Comple free. At the first use It starts downloading the world map. If you zoom in on a provinCe, it downlouds automatically thar area. Afterwards The mAp is ready for offline use. Really cOnvinient

google maps doesn’t have accurate public transit data though, and because google isn’t in china, i don’t think its china data is up to date or accurate.

i use gaode maps but it’s all in chinese.

I’m using one called lost LAOWAI. It is in English and Chinese but you can search for English phrases and it will translate, example you can type in supermarket and it will find you all the local places, it gives directions in english for walking and public transport but not driving, considering most foreigners can’t drive in China and get around by walking or public transport it’s pretty good. I’ve used it to find all sorts of BUSINESSes, tourist places, and heaps of other destinations.
