Tips for Using Maps in Korea

  • KakaoMap and Naver Map: In Korea, popular map apps like KakaoMap and Naver Map are widely used for finding directions. Google Maps is less reliable here due to data restrictions.
  • Subway Maps: Korea has detailed subway maps available in every station, often in both Korean and English. Make sure to grab one if you're navigating the city.
  • Offline Maps: When traveling in rural areas, it's good to have an offline map as internet coverage might not be as strong as in cities.

Mastering these expressions will help you navigate with ease, ensuring you can always find your way in Korea—whether you’re on foot or using public transport. Happy travels!
