Is there any LBS like google which is allowed in China and have Android API?


We are developing a mobile application in Android for mobile and tablet. We use Android version 1.6.

In our application we use Google Maps API for displaying location details. One of our application deployment places is China. In china Google's LBS (location-based service) including Google Maps are blocked in China.

So we cannot use Google Maps or Google's LBS in China. Are there any LBS like Google allowed in China and have an Android API?

We welcome your suggestions and ideas.


Solution

  • Baidu provides map API for mobile devices including Android, iOS. The Android API is somewhat similar to Google's. But their developer site is only available in Chinese language.
