The reason why Google Map isn’t popular in South Korea.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhy isn’t Google Maps a popular app in South Korea? It’s related to homeland security. Since the 1950s, Korea has been divided into two countries, North and South Korea. Nowadays, South Korea is in a peaceful era, but it is technically still at war. That’s the reason why the government of South Korea restricts Google from accessing specific geographic information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strictly speaking, Naver Maps doesn’t have as many useful functions as Google Maps, but for the reasons mentioned above, it’s better to use when traveling in Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s search for “Naver Map” in the App Store or Google Play Store. You can discover green icons like this. You might wonder why the evaluation score is so low, but it seems to have occurred because many Koreans are strict about their ratings.
