Chinese GPS

Have you ever wondered how a chinese GPS might sound? Well it might not say these exact words, but here is a direction from 银行 (Yínháng) to 邮局 (Yóujú) in the map below:

出门往左走,走到河边,左转。沿着河走,你会看到一座桥。走过桥,在第二个路口左转。沿着这条路走过三条街,右转,直走,邮局在左边。
Chūmén wǎng zuǒ zǒu, zǒu dào hé biān, zuǒ zhuǎn. Yánzhe hé zǒu, nǐ huì kàn dào yī zuò qiáo, zǒu guò qiáo, zài dì èr gè lùkǒu zuǒ zhuǎn. Yánzhe zhè tiáo lù zǒu guò sān tiáo jiē, yòu zhuǎn, zhí zǒu, yóujú zài zuǒ biān.
Go out and go left. When you arrive the river, turn left. Walk along the river and you will see a bridge. Cross the bridge and turn left on the second intersection. Keep walking on this road and take the third right. Go straight and the post office is on your left.
Some vocabulary from the map:
银行 (yínháng): bank
邮局 (yóujú): post office
(qiáo): bridge
(hé): river

And few more useful vocabulary:
路口 (lùkǒu): intersection
路灯 (lùdēng): traffic light
超市 (chāoshì): supermarket
电影院 (diànyǐngyuàn): cinema
医院 (yīyuàn): hospital
