奥运官方网站奥运电子地图自去年1月23日正式推出以来，已经安全无故障运行了近一年的时间。2007年1月16日，奥运地图项目又传喜讯，在奥运地图二期中很重要的一项服务——英文版奥运地图服务隆重推出。这也是奥运官方网站历史上第一次推出多语种的动态电子地图服务。

英文版奥运电子地图服务隆重推出(BEIJING, Jan. 16) -- The English electronic map for the official website of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games made its debut1 on Tuesday.

It was the first time for an Olympic Games official website to use electronic applications of geographic2 information system in multi-languages for the Olympic Games. The Chinese version was released earlier on January 23, 2005.

The dynamic map features special columns on four hot topics, including the Olympic competition venues3, Olympic-licensed stores, subway stations, and traditional dwelling4 blocks in Beijing -- Hutongs.

The map also serves as a practical city guide platform with 12 wide-ranging categories of classified information available on it, such as the government institutions, health and medical community, academies, entertainment, media, shopping, real estate, chambers5, sports venues, scenic6 spots, catering7, and hotels and restaurants.

Each category is divided into several sub-categories to particularly identify the potential needs of the users. The "shopping" column, for instance, comprises of shopping malls, supermarkets, shopping centers, furniture centers, bookstores, and others.

One of its highlights is that users can choose to zoom8 in or out on the map to best fit their preferences.

In the run-up to the 2008 Olympic Games, more information and functions will be integrated into the map. Users will be able to acquire competition information, basic introduction of the venues, and weather information as well.

注释：Geographic: 地理学的
dwell: 居住
