I don't need live transit data, just something to say "To get from X to Y, take the #2 subway from A to B" - does maps.me do that?

Thanks

Google Maps works in China - get a VPN. Which you should be doing anyway if you are visiting China. Now Google Maps, well, they haven't even had the data for the subway line to Disney for 3 years. In other words, according to Google Maps, Disney Resort Station on Line 11 doesn't even exist, even though it was built over 3 years ago.

Edit: actually, looks like it was recently added. So I wonder if they are overhauling the transit portion of their maps in China.
