Korean map software KakaoMap uses sharing without registration

Of course, traveling abroad requires a map software to rest assured. Let’s try KakaoMap, the number one map software in Korea – KakaoMap, designed and produced by the Korean Kakao company. It is another choice besides Naver. The rich man thinks that KakaoMap supports English It is quite complete. After installation, the English version is automatically displayed. It should be related to the language setting of the mobile phone. After all, it is still difficult for ordinary people to directly input Korean from the mobile phone to search, so it is very important to fully support English. Good, I recommend it to everyone.

KakaoMap settings

KakaoMap is loading. Many Korean apps require a local Korean mobile phone to be able to register. This alone may make friends from foreign countries get stuck. They can be used directly without registration and login. Generous, rich man recommended, rich man first introduced this time General basic functions (laughs). Of course, after logging in, KakaoMap provides more customized advanced functions, such as car-hailing service, KaTalk, etc., so I will skip it this time.

subway map

Select the "Subway Map" function, you can see the built-in Seoul subway map, and you can also enter the "departure station" and "destination station" to plan the route.

search location

text search

In the search box at the top of KakaoMap, enter "supermarket" in English and "supermarket". Although some store names are displayed in Korean, the search results are all correctly classified as supermarket, and you can correctly find the supermarket near the hotel! The green box in the picture below is open 24 hours Home Mart supermarket. The search results partially matchWar Memorial of KoreaIt is also displayed correctly, not bad.

Store phone number search

The rich man thinks this function is very useful, but he needs to change the phone number before searching, here is "Seoul Police Museum』For example, the phone number searched by Google is +82 2-3150-3681 including the country code for South Korea.

When using KakaoMap to search, you don't need to enter the country code, and add 0, search with "0231503681", and you can find the location correctly, praise.

route planning

First enter the English "Gwangmyeong Cave" of "Guangming Cave", then press the "Go" button, and then enter the "Departure Location", here is the "Hotel Newv" near the "Seulleung" Station of Seoul Metro Line 2. After the input is completed, various routes will be automatically calculated, which is great!

Then click on the calculated route. Take the picture below as an example, first take Seoul Metro Line 2, then transfer to Subway Line 7, and finally transfer to a bus, get off the bus and walk there.

Take subway line 7 and get off at "Cheolsan" station, then transfer to a bus after exiting the subway station, and finally get off at Guangming Cave and walk up the mountain.

Estimated taxi fare

The rich man thinks this function is very important. After all, it is inevitable to take a taxi as a luxury when going abroad. It is really convenient to be able to pre-calculate the taxi fare, so you don’t have to worry about running out of money (laughs). Take the picture below as an example. From Hotel Newv to Dong Seoul Bus Terminal, the estimated taxi fare is 14,300 won, which is about the same as the actual amount.

rich man experience

The millionaire thinks that KakaoMap’s English support is quite complete. From route planning to details, most of them support English, and the search results are also accurate. Several English attractions entered by the millionaire are also correctly searched. Compared with Naver, the millionaire recommends KakaoMap.

The rich man thinks that KakaoMap has relatively complete support for Seoul and other big cities in South Korea, but this time the rich man stayed in Sokcho, Gangwon-do for a few days, and found that the support is relatively low, and the display of attractions is relatively simple. For example, if he wants to estimate from Marianbay Sokcho hotel toYangyang International Airport, On the map of KakaoMap, the "Marianbay Sokcho" restaurant is only displayed as "Hotel", which is a bit inconvenient, but it's okay, smart friends can still confirm it according to the relative address and photos. However, there is a gap between the estimated fare and the actual amount, so please pay attention.
