Thanks for the suggestion. Trust me I've tried everything, I use Ride with GPS for all my rides including 26 days in Taiwan last year. It's not that I cannot map roads/rides for China on RwGPS it's that they don't follow the roads. They are all offset sideways and backwards or forward by about 200 yards. It's fine, I guess I could keep my eyes glued to the screen and try to estimate where I am but I'm still looking for a better way.
