China’s State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping started a free online mapping service yesterday, China Daily reported, citing bureau official Jiang Jie.
The site will be updated about twice a year, in contrast to Google Earth “that can update its infromation every couple of minutes through satellites,” Jiang told the Daily.
Map World can be accessed at two Internet addresses: www.tianditu.cn and www.chinaonmap.cn, the report said.
