Google WAP mobile search adds public transit search and dictionary translation

Google WAP mobile search (http://g.cn/m) has newly launched public transit search and dictionary translation functions, promoting Google Hot List as a separate product. This morning when I accessed Google Mobile Search, I did not notice these changes, believing that these are services added by Google China only during the day today.

The homepage of the newly added public transit search and dictionary translation functions by Google is very simple. When users enter the public transit mobile search homepage, Google will automatically guess the user's location, providing only input fields for "origin" and "destination". Google provides two types of search result pages: one is text-based. If you do not fully understand the textual description, you can click on the link to view the map mode. However, the quality of Google Maps is truly unsatisfactory. When I input "Tangxia", Google Maps does not display information about Tangxia Village in Tianhe District, Guangzhou, but instead prompts whether it refers to "Tangxia Town, Pengjiang District, Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province," which is awkward.

Additionally, Google offers a dictionary translation function for WAP internet users, currently providing only basic Chinese-English mutual translation. The data used comes from Dr.eye (Yi Dian Tong), a partner of Baidu Dictionary. This is a strange phenomenon as usually, Google and Baidu would not have partnerships with the same company in the same field.

Google is heavily promoting mobile search, and the products currently offered have caught up with competitors. If mobile operators reduce GPRS internet fees in more provinces and cities outside of Guangdong, it is believed that Google will massively advertise in more cities, just as it has done in Guangzhou. I heard that Google has taken over the busiest metro station in Shenzhen, where there were previously many Baidu ads... (Is it the Huqiangbei station??)
