Set up
2. Switch the app to your language — do this first
Every NAVER Map link on this site opens the app, and the app shows the language you set — web links can't change it. In the app: MY (bottom right) → Settings → Language → English, 日本語 or 中文. On iPhone you can also go to iPhone Settings → NAVER Map → Language. Place names, map labels and directions switch; reviews and some menus stay in Korean.
Search & directions
Search with the Korean name
English works for big landmarks, but Korean names always work. Every place on this site has its Korean name ready to copy.
Directions → transit or walking
Tap Directions, pick the bus/subway or walking tab. You get bus numbers, the exit to use and live arrival times.
Read reviews before you go
Restaurant pages show photos, menus, opening hours and visitor reviews — one of the most active review communities in Korea.
Save places with ☆
Saving needs a free NAVER account; saved places show up on your map as a personal list.
