[Travel in Korea] - Recommended Korea Map App

In general, the most commonly used smartphone map apps are Google Maps and Apple's map apps. Especially in the US, the services these apps provide are great.

However, when traveling abroad, other services may be better. This is especially the case in Korea. In some cases, they provide overwhelmingly better service in terms of driving routes, estimated travel times, public transportation, etc.

One of the services that can be accessed just by accessing the Internet without going through any procedures such as membership registration is 'Naver Map'.

There is a function to search for a desired location, and a function to provide the route by entering the departure and destination points. At this time, routes using walking, car, and public transportation are all provided. All services are accurate and many Koreans also use them.

Kakao Map also provides a similar service. To put it simply, you can think of it as a rival service to Naver. They provide almost the same services, including location search and routes from departure point to destination.

As expected, many Koreans use it and the information is accurate.

The above services are also available as a smartphone application. There is an app called ‘Naver Map’ and an app called ‘Kakao Map’. You can find the app by searching naver map or kakao map.

All four methods are free and no special membership registration process is required. However, you can enjoy a cleaner UI by using the app.

You can use these to get accurate information when traveling in Korea or searching for information.
