Google launches Chinese holiday travel map…

BEIJING (February 08 2010): Google has launched a map search service in China for travellers taking

trips during the Lunar New Year holiday season, despite a row over cyberattacks and censorship. 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, she said.

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.
