How can I set Baidu Maps for iOS in English?

Accepted answer

The AppStore description is not a reliable source of information. When I was in China a few months ago, the Baidu maps were only available in Chinese. You may use another phone with Google Translator from camera to learn basic UI.

My use case was:

  • Use web version of the Baidu with Google Translator to sign up.
  • Use copy/paste to find required info on the map.
  • Put the locations required to the Favorites.
  • Log into the same account on my phone.

You should be aware that VPN is not the only issue with the maps in China. All traditional maps will show 500m wrong location as a result of Government Restriction

I will recommend taking Maps.me as a backup, as it has English UI and does not require the Internet to work. (However, I am not sure whether Maps.me show right GPS coordinates in China)
