"Navigating Seoul: Why I Stick with Google Maps (Even When It Fails)"

In this episode, we dive into why Google Maps doesn’t handle walking directions well in Seoul—and why I can’t stop using it anyway. I’ll share how Google Maps nails public transit and GPS in Korea, but stumbles on those twisty alleys and underground passages I love exploring. Turns out, Korean security rules, local apps like NAVER and KakaoMap, and Google’s priorities are behind the limits. But don’t worry—I’ll spill the tea on switching to NAVER or KakaoMap for perfect walking routes. Whether you’re hopping buses, checking GPS, or just relying on familiarity, I’ll help you pick the right map app for your Seoul adventure.
