Anyone knows of an online map showing bus routes around Kunming? I'm moving soon and I'd want to find most convenient places to live.
Thanks

This has come up before. If you are competent in Chinese then bus.mapbar.com/kunming is a good choice. You can search by route or run an origin to destination search that will parse through the possible routes and show you the one that is quickest and has the fewest transfers (in kunming you can get most places by bus with only one transfer).
It's not 100% accurate, but it's pretty good. If you're just looking to browse it might be better to go with a paper map available from any bookstore and many newspaper kiosks: most have the routes printed on them.
Thanks Dan. Already got a map from Xinhua bookstore few days ago, but it's dated 2009 and I couldn't find anything newer.
Go to Google maps. (maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl)
Zoom in so you can see the blue bus symbols. Click on them to see the numbers and routes.
Remember the bus number, go here.
