Q: iphone gps for China

Is there a good map app for iphones in China. I usually look at Google maps. The one I have saved lists mostly streets. I just found one that lists more places/ businesses. I think many of the locations of stores and restaurants are wrong on Google.

The maps on Google can appear wrong because China does a GPS "shift" that is different from city to city. For 'security reasons' they purposely give you the wrong coordinates. But since this is a well known secret, Chinese map programs take this into account. I would suggest using one of them. Ask any vendor and they will be able to make some good recommendations to you.

Q: When do you need to get a medical examination?

A: Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam bef

A:Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam before granting Z visa is to make sure, you won't be entering China in any abnormal and harmful to others condition.Few days after your arrival to China, you'll be required to complete another ME ... If ME in China will be OK, you'll get a Residence permit stamp into your book some 10-days afterwards. Imagine, you're an employer, who can sponsor my entry and work in China, but after my arrival to China would be found I carry some sickness, which would prevent Chinese .gov to issue a Residence permit. Rule is: Z visa should be converted into Residence permit in 30-days after entry to China. So, my advice is:"Complete ME in your home country and forward medical results to your employer".Z visa grant will follow shortly afterwards. Employer is not wrong at their demand for the pre-arrival ME from your home country hospital. -- icnif77
