3. Why do GPS coordinates offset on maps of China?
Maps in China are required to use the GCJ-02 coordinate system ('Mars Coordinates'), which applies a non-linear offset to standard WGS-84 GPS data. Our quick navigation buttons automatically compensate for this to ensure correct positioning on Amap and Baidu Maps.
