NAVER Maps

Naver Maps is South Korea's premier mapping and navigation service, developed by the internet giant Naver Corporation. Launched in the early 2000s, it has grown to become the dominant local alternative to global services like Google Maps, offering highly detailed data specifically tailored to the South Korean infrastructure, including comprehensive public transportation routes, street views, and interior maps of large complexes.

As a digital product, it is developed and maintained primarily in South Korea by Naver’s software engineering teams. The service is deeply integrated into the Naver ecosystem, providing seamless transitions between search, local business reviews, and shopping services. While it is used globally by tourists visiting the Korean peninsula, its core data and technological backbone remain firmly rooted in its country of origin.
