How to change from Chinese to English display in Amap (it is defaulted to Chinese):
- Tap the person icon on the bottom right corner first. Then tap the little hexagon icon on the top right.
- Then scroll down to the option that says 通用(4th one counting from the bottom excluding the 2 buttons)
- Then scroll down to 语言设置 (3rd one from the bottom)
- Then choose English.
