Essential Travel Tip: Why You Need Naver Map in South Korea

Due to Korean mapping regulations, Google Maps lacks turn-by-turn walking and live public transit routing in Korea. For optimal navigation, we strongly recommend downloading and using Naver Map.

📱 How to set Naver Map to English / Japanese / Chinese:
Open Naver Map App ➔ Tap Side Menu (≡) ➔ Tap Settings (⚙️) ➔ Language ➔ Select English (or 日本語 / 中文).
