Frequently Asked Questions / Directory

Why is the map in the directory sometimes inaccurate?

Simply put, GPS doesn’t work so well in China. China doesn’t use the same GPS standard as the rest of the world, which means that the marker on Google (and even Baidu maps) can be as much as 500 meters off. We do our best to manually pinpoint the locations by hand, but it’s a tricky business. You can read more about the topic if you’re interested here. Nerd. If you’d like to report a particularly bad GPS pin location, you can use the “Report Mistake” button on the venue listing, and we’ll do what we can to fix it!

What should I do if my venue has moved to a new location?

Easy, submit the new venue using the Submit Venues page! As a matter of policy, we don’t delete venues, we mark them closed and, if applicable, add a note directing our users to the venue listing of the new location.
