Maps and navigation app
If you live in South Korea or if you are planning to pay the country a visit, you sure know that in the Android catalog you can find a variety of tools that can help you through your day-to-day life. With no doubt, two of the most useful apps in the store are Kakao Map and NAVER Map.
It turns out that Google Maps has not been able to get information from South Korea for years, so the data that the popular app offers is obsolete. If you need a road navigation app, you will need to install one of these apps on your device, Kakao Map or NAVER Map.
Fast and accurate navigation with real-time traffic information and optimized usability for any driving condition.
Your South Korea maps app
Just like most map tools, NAVER Map offers a highly detailed map that we can view on plane, satellite or terrain mode. Also, we will be able to see navigation instructions to travel in different ways:
- On foot.
- By public transport.
- By car.
- By bicycle.
It can also show useful information, such as the traffic status, public transport, security cameras or hiking routes, as well as business hours and other information about the area (restaurants, gas stations, recommendations, and more). In general, NAVER Map is a very complete application limited to South Korea, with the advantage that it offers navigation in English, promoting its accessibility.
Requirements and additional information:
- Minimum operating system requirements: Android 5.0.
