Ratings and reviews

Using the app as an english speaking foreigner. English directions adds "towards" after each direction, which adds too much words to the navigation. Example: "Turn left towards, then turn right towards." Also repeats driving instructions too frequently, especially speed camera zones. The maps can also be confusing with colours. Main roads are yellow, but so can your navigation route which can make it confusing at times. However, it's still easily a 4+ App!

Life saver while walking in Korea. Great for searching terms in English to find places to visit. Had zero issues using the map while moving around on foot and also while using the subway. App menus in English and I found most words translated. Love this app.

It's a must for foreign drivers as it has comprehensive speed camera warning. Excellent parking facilities with rated to search. One setback is the voice navigation does not pronounce the road names during voice guidence.
