Big thanks to Skyler for pointing me to this website* where you can find an Amazing interactive 3D map of Chongqing (Maps of other major cities in China available too!)
For those of you who can navigate your way around the Chinese, you should have no problem with it whatsoever. (I will soon exchange my maps with new ones from here, stickies galore). Chinese characters make your head want to split? I’ve translated the intro page for you. Notice the fun distance measuring feature with the red flags (just click on the ruler in the toolbar–doubleclick to remove flags)
Clicking on a location with a rollover comment pulls up a new box with a load of interesting possibilities: find transportation to and from that location, search for things within 500/1000 meters of the locale, and a listing of nearby bus stops (not all buses are listed yet).
*They must have just released a new version that is compatible with my Mac (Firefox only, sorry Safari users out there–but really–isn’t it time you switched anyway?) It still has some compatibility issues though, like the “share with a friend” function does not work.
