Arrived Hong Kong and dunno how to pronounce the location name in Cantonese to the taxi driver? Download "Where To?" and let your Android smartphone speak for you.
Hong Kong has hundreds of different locations whose names are difficult for foreigners to pronounce and remember. Foreigners often have trouble communicating to local citizens, especially taxi drivers, when they want to go to various tourist attractions or popular places.
Users can select three display languages: English, Traditional Chinese or Simplified Chinese. When users tap on ANY single location on the Google maps (which is not just limited to Hong Kong), the system displays the address name in the three languages.
