The thing that surprises me though is the lack of detail in the old districts. For example, around Xinhua Lu and Fahuazhen Lu, where I live, the detail on the modern buildings and skyscrapers is exact and you get their names when you roll over them too. I was really amazed ... but then if you look around the older parts , or the French concession, they are just represented by a sparse, half-assed repeated graphic of a generic low rise modern building ..or a big swatch of green. 发展是硬道理 I suppose.</p>
