Maps for free download?

Is there any place where I can download a free map of any country (specifically china) in english that is interactive or very detailed in that manner, similar to google maps. So, any map similar to google maps, like having street view, able to switch cities, and find directions if possible. But, i need to do this without internet connection, so google earth doesn't work. if anyone knows of a place that can have this downloaded china map, more specifically beijing and shanghai if that's easier, that would be greatly appreciated. 10 points to best answer. Thanks!Maps for free download?
I think our asker made it clear that he wanted an off-line use of a map of China.



There is a software called 51ditu. It is free, and with that you can download any map of Chinese cities, but unfortunately it is in Chinese.

Anyway, if you need that, you can download it here:

PS It does not have street view. Not many maps have that great fuction though.Maps for free download?
