We present the stellar kinematics across the Galactic bulge and into the diskat positive longitudes from the SDSS-III APOGEE spectroscopic survey of theMilky Way. APOGEE includes extensive coverage of the stellar populations of thebulge along the mid-plane and near-plane regions. From these data, we haveproduced kinematic maps of 10,000 stars across longitudes 0 deg < l < 65 deg,and primarily across latitudes of |b| < 5 deg in the bulge region. The APOGEEdata reveal that the bulge is cylindrically rotating across all latitudes andis kinematically hottest at the very centre of the bulge, with the smallestgradients in both kinematic and chemical space inside the inner-most region(l,|b|) < (5,5) deg. The results from APOGEE show good agreement with data fromother surveys at higher latitudes and a remarkable similarity to the rotationand dispersion maps of barred galaxies viewed edge on. The thin bar that isreported to be present in the inner disk within a narrow latitude range of |b|< 2 deg appears to have a corresponding signature in [Fe/H] and [alpha/Fe].Stars with [Fe/H] > -0.5 have dispersion and rotation profiles that are similarto that of N-body models of boxy/peanut bulges. There is a smooth kinematictransition from the thin bar and boxy bulge (l,|b|) < (15,12) deg out into thedisk for stars with [Fe/H] > -1.0, and the chemodynamics across (l,b) suggeststhe stars in the inner Galaxy with [Fe/H] > -1.0 have an origin in the disk.
