Google Works on Chinese Holiday Travel Map

Google has reportedly launched a map search service in China for travelers taking trips during the Lunar New Year holiday season. Google China’s Marsha Wang told AFP that the service is available online now.

The Google Spring Festival Map is based on the company’s regular map service but has more features targeting users’ special needs during this month’s holiday, the busiest travel period of the year in China, according to Wang.

The special map provides information including real-time flight status, train schedules and ticket prices, highway conditions and weather updates, according to a statement posted on googlechinablog.com.
