We are very interested in Lightship VPS, but we are in China. How long can VPS Map include some cities of China? And we hope we can use it in China. How to cooperate with the Lightship?

Hello Davis,

Using the [Niantic Wayfarer app](https://lightship.dev/docs/ardk/vps/generating_scans.html#installing-the-niantic-wayfarer-app) (iPhone only), you can [Generate scans for VPS](https://lightship.dev/docs/ardk/vps/generating_scans.html) which can create and contribute scans to non VPS-activated wayspots allowing them to become VPS-activated after sufficient amounts of scans. Once a wayspot is approved as a VPS-activated wayspot, you can view the wayspot in the [Lightship Dashboard](https://lightship.dev/account/dashboard) and further expand on it for development purposes with the [VPS Coverage API](https://lightship.dev/docs/ardk/vps/using_the_coverage_api.html#doxid-ardk-vps-using-the-coverage-api).

Hope this helps!
