I'm a map fiend too, but can't really read any hanzi (yet) so I can't figure anything out. Do you know if the Suzhou map includes the SIP? I love it!

So, depending on the age of the Google Map (which seem to range quite heavily here in Le Chine), you'll get a lot of unbuilt areas that were finished long ago. I just like the pretty colours :-) Best I can figure, they’ve just taken a Google Map and then texturized it with their own artwork.

Just poking around their Beijing map, though, I do notice a few, albeit minor, inaccuracies. They have a regular-looking intersection instead of Jinsongqiao on the East Third Ring, for example, and closer to my home, they perpetuate the myth that there is a public road bisecting the BeiGongDa campus and haven't caught up with the fact that the hotel on the southwest corner of our campus and the Olympic badminton and rhythmic gymnastics venues on the southeast corner have been completed. I could probably find more if I tried. Anyways, nitpicking quibbles aside, that is a cool resource. Dude, that is awesome.
