What is the difference between "Offcial Shifted & Venus Shift-Corrected"
In a nutshell, the coordinates in the official Garmin China map have artificial shifts added. The Venus version map has these coordinates corrected such that the map can be used on GPS device sold outside of China.
Dutchbird, the "Official Shifted" is the official version that when used on a non chinese GPS unit, cause all the co-ordinates to be shifted by about 500-600m.
The Venus version has been modified so that the co-ordinates show the true points and can be used with all non chinese GPS units.
Basically, unless you bought your GPS in China, Venus is the map version you want to be using.
There's quite a good explanation under:
City Navigator China NT 2011.40 - English+Venus Series Shift Corrected version [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Downloaded the 2012.20 Venus English/Pinyin version to a micro SD card in a US Garmin Edge 800 (cycling computer). Maps load fine and shift seems very precise - around Beijing it shows which side of the road I am riding on. Question about the amount of detail. I am in Beijing near the NE corner of the 3rd ring road. Maps show the ring roads and major highway numbered roads in the city, but no other large roads. Is this a normal amount of detail in Beijing for the China 2012.20 version?

Reason: left out some detail
Been using the 2012.20 map and in Gunagdong area there are bit missing all over the place. Could this be a problem with the unlocking method I used or could the map be corrupt ?

Hard to say. The best way to tell is for you to post a few examples (with screen shots if possible) then we can compare them to our copies. Please specify which version (official or Venus) you used.

I have sort of a similar problem. Downloaded and installed the 2011 version but only manage to see one city i.e Beijing. When I search for other cities they do not exist. Did I do something wrong?
