Mobile map gives directions to courts

A new app from China's top court and Baidu Map will help people find the accurate location of courts and get basic information about each one.

"I was once misled by the old application when I went to a court. Its global positioning system told me I was very near my destination, but actually I spent a long time getting there," said 30-year-old Kong Yiying from Guangdong province, who was sometimes lost while searching for courts in the region.

The top court launched the map project in October 2017, ordering all courts nationwide to provide their authorized location as well as an introduction, "aiming to save litigants time finding us and supplying them with better legal services," said Xu Jianfeng, director of the information center with the Supreme People's Court.
