Map Kiosks in Beijing

china map kiosks

If you are in Beijing you’ll find new map kiosks on the street. The one pictured above was right outside the Beijing Hilton, my hotel. The kiosk helps you do a Business search, get directions, zoom in/out, and locate yourself. After Google’s done with putting maps in gas stations perhaps we’ll get kiosks from them.

You can’t tour Beijing without seeing construction for the Olympics. I hope that improvements like this are maintained after sports event has come and gone. I also hope that the Seattle City government sees these and decides that they are a good idea.
