Find your way in China without language barriers!
Have you ever tried to move through China without understanding the language? Well, I have. And I have tried every available maps app to try to make sense of direction, means of transportation and nearby facilities. Nothing worked for me, until…
I found LingoMap!
LingoMap is a map app for foreigners who cannot read Chinese to use in China. It shows place, transit route, and street names in the original Chinese, Mandarin Pinyin, and English. 😀
Download LingoMap
Are you replacing an older version of LingoMap with this newest version? Make sure to FIRST screenshot your “Saved Places” because they could get lost during the update. Best is to not uninstall the old version, because your Saved Places will definitely get lost this way. Just install the new version over the old version. If you run the latest version of Android, your Saved Places should stay intact.
Google Play
We strongly recommend installing the app through the Play Store, so you can get automatic updates.
- Click the Google Play button to visit the Play Store
- Install LingoMap on your phone
Download a zip file with the apk inside
If you don’t have access to Google Play, you can download the zip file with the APK here. You may need to download another app first with which you can unzip the zip file.

Download a .tiff file and rename it to .apk
If you don’t have access to Google Play and you are unable to unzip a zip file, then you can download the APK here with a trick.
