Presumably there would be a spread on any foreign currency transaction ? I did have a look on their website & they were not at all transparent about this. Seems they use bank rates, so there is some sort of spread.

Maybe also caps on moving money out of China, although not one that will affect me just now.

Back to the maps. One can send a pin (location) to oneself, say at your hotel. Then wherever you are in the city you can open the pin and see which way to go.
