China-based map services
Google Maps – you will need a VPN to access Google services but, you can get access to the Chinese version of Google Maps at google.cn/maps.
The online map service most commonly used in China is Baidu, here is the link to the Baidu Shenzhen Map another is Tencent QQ Map service and Amap.
They also offer street view, and routing services, but, all in Chinese yet its surprisingly useable for identifying bus routes/metro routes etc.
