Live Maps for China - New release is Live today!

The second major release of Live Maps for China is out and can be accessed at http://ditu.live.com. Congrats to our engineering team in China for getting this big update out - it represents many months of coding and brings some great improvements to map surfers in China. It also brings an API for developers and a localized SDK.* Qingsong is a Program Manager on the maps team in Beijing and has this rundown on the release.

I am pleased to announce that VE China 'Goliath'' release is live on http://ditu.live.com. Here is a list of the new and improved areas-

    • VE China API for developers, with VE China SDK documentation on Chinese MSDN.
    • Pinyin support for map search query
    • Business photos on the details page
    • Transit -* Improved route quality; better estimation of trip time; refreshed transit data for all 11 cities.
    • Geocoding - Support Pinyin correction; geocoding match rate greatly improved
    • New process for monthly data update leading to more timely and accurate maps and Business listings
