And besides smartshanghai maps errors (no, i haven't reported them, I know I should) I still don't know how to toggle it to see hanzi. please leave your beta map up, it's still more useful to me!

UUmap (www.uumap.com) have a toggleable map - though it only seems to work properly in Internet Explorer. Try http://www.uumap.com/?cityCode=310000 and click the small E/中 button underneath the zoom slider to toggle. The old map is still available at

I really like your map service but I agree with you that maintaining a good english-language map is very time consuming. i am curious to know where will this map go?
