Google Maps is a popular navigation app that is used by millions of people around the world. However, it is not fully available in South Korea. The reason is that South Korea has strict laws about the sharing of military information. Google is not allowed to share detailed maps of South Korea, as this could potentially reveal the location of military facilities.

As a result, Google Maps in South Korea is limited to basic features such as street view and location searching. For more detailed information, such as directions and business listings, users must rely on other apps, such as Naver Maps or Kakao Maps. The local apps are available in English and offer a variety of features that are not available on Google Maps, such as real-time traffic updates and public transportation directions.

If you are planning a trip to South Korea, it is a good idea to download one of these apps before you go. Google Maps is not enough to help you navigate South Korea effectively.

Here are some of the features that are not available on Google Maps in South Korea:

  • Directions for driving, walking, or cycling
  • Real-time traffic updates
  • Public transportation directions
  • Business listings and contact information
  • 3D maps

By downloading a local map app, you can get the most out of your trip to South Korea.
