[quote=VINCENTHOE,356552]Thank you for your questions. Actually English language version is also available in China, all Garmin GPS which are on sale in China marketplace can be toggled freely between English and Chinese, as what you use in UK, when you drive the car the Garmin GPS can guide you with turn arrows, vocal prompts (English or Chinese is available), and instruction text on the top of the screen ( English or Chinese is available).

And now the China map for Garmin GPS covers almost all areas, including rurals and cities, you can even search the location by entering 'house number' in Beijing, Shanghai and Changchun, the house number is in the middle of collecting, more and more places can be searched by house number' in the near future .

As for the Chinese map in English, Garmin has its own map provider, it's Nav2, NAV2 is a Shanghai-based joint venture between two mapping leaders, NavInfo and NAVTEQ. (more info : http://www.nav2.com.cn/en/index.asp). So we guarantee the quality of the map, I am not say it has no errors, but I can say safely it's much better than ever before, and the accuracy is much higher. But I have got to say one thing though, the menu and instructions are all described in English, while the street names are described in Chinese pinyin. For example, if you wanna find "Shang hai city", you gotta enter " Shang hai shi", "shi" represents " city", I think it's no biggie even for a foreigner here.

I have not less than 200 foreign customers here in Shanghai, and most of them are satisfied with its performance and Garmin GPS make their life more easier.
