Does anyone know of a good web site designed for mobiles that I can use to search for shops, stores, markets, etc.. and has addresses written in Chinese that I can show a taxi driver?

Big request I know

I am currently using localnoodles.com to search for stores but that doesn't display well on my phone and it really doesn't help much with my need to show directions to taxi drivers

Google maps are great for me, but not so great for showing taxi drivers

I think I found one that matched my criteria - the same one I used when visiting Beijing.

cityfu.com/beijing/

I have tried this with a few more basic stores and it worked :p

The only issue is that its not so comprehensive but it has a search, directions in Chinese and I can use it on my cell.

I think the best solution is using a mobile browser. UC browser :
ucweb9.com/
Select one uc browser according to your mobile.
or
Opera mini browser.

Thanks for the links.

I'll give them both a dry run this weekend

I really like the send to mobile phone option from mobilenative.com especially the English and Chinese directions.
