FAQ
How do I get the Chinese driving maps (maps for China are now available at ditu.google.com, at maps.google.com you just have grey areas) ?
You have to edit config file gMapMaker.exe.config and replace, for setting GoogleMT, line http://mt*.google.com/mt?n=404&v=w2.70&x=XXXX&y=YYYY&zoom=ZZZZ with line http://mapgoogle.mapabc.com/googlechina/maptile?v=w2.70&x=XXXX&y=YYYY&zoom=ZZZZ
