The Taxi-Book app is a joint development by Taxi-Book and Yocoy who have combined their respective expertises in key areas to bring users this handy tool. This installment features Hangzhou, which is the capital and largest city of Zhejiang Province in China's East. It has been one of the most renowned and prosperous cities due in part to its beautiful natural scenery. More Chinese cities are soon to follow.
• Locations: Hundreds of locations divided into 10 categories are featured.
• Locations come with detailed information like English and Chinese name, address, phone number, and GPS coordinates.
• View locations on Maps and find nearby places easily (requires online connectivity). You can also add your own locations, enter and save their data if you have discovered a new place that is not covered in the app.
• Once you've chosen a location, press the Taxi-Card button to bring up a simple yet effective page that allows you to tell a taxi driver clearly where you want to go. Show the page to the driver and shake the phone to make it pronounce the phrase with your desired destination.
