Korean Map Applications

Please note that in South Korea, Google Maps has limited functionality, including walking and driving directions, as well as live traffic information.

So, we recommend using Naver Maps instead of Google Maps in Korea. Naver Map is one of the major navigation services in Korea. They provide routes for public transportation, driving, walking, and bike riding.
