Before we can use the map software is very few, and a map package easily hundreds of M, also does not support GPS, no real-time road conditions, no satellite map, a year may not be updated once. Now the map function has been greatly enriched, the developer's project selectivity is also very large, the map which audience more useful? Developers do not "Outman" to keep your project up to date!
Baidu Map API

Personal Opinion:
The above three maps are the most common in the daily and most of the three map service providers, personal favorite or Baidu map, Baidu as one of the three major internet, has been doing a good thing, in addition to the previous AH there are now annoying new version bar, OK, spit groove to this, Baidu as the big winner of the domestic search, data resources This aspect is very strong, the function of Baidu map I am still very optimistic, such as latitude and longitude positioning, there is a period of time plus and buy network docking, for road fetish and no group buy not happy little partner really is out of the necessary artifacts.
To say the point, Baidu Map API basic features: platform free, offline map, satellite mode, bus retrieval, real-time traffic, short string sharing, lbs cloud retrieval, arc drawing, Custom Paopaoview popup (Google Maps not supported) Baidu map All package contains, lbs cloud Search contains local search, surrounding search , Reverse geo-source: POI search results sharing, reverse geocoding sharing, integration difficulty general, mobile development project selection Map API I like Baidu Map, the same-minded small partners can also search "Baidu Map Service evaluation" to see, using Baidu Map API You must have proficiency in OO programming skills, In particular, object-oriented polymorphism and method rewriting, if you do not understand the common design patterns and architecture, the mastery of the platform will be a little difficult. Big Love Baidu map, Chi Ling Sister I do not like you.
