Hope this helps some other lazy people like me who dislike copy and pasting between Google and Naver Map.City navigation and public transit app Citymapper is ending the program it called “Citymapper Ride,” which has gone through a number of incarnations since its introduction back in 2017. Also, it's free, no registration needed as it's ad driven. I was skeptical since nobody talks about the App but my travel companion who is a world traveller swears by CityMapper for most cities.

But this worst case scenario is still one less step than what you have to do with Naver Maps worst case (you don't have to copy and paste anything.) The tricky condition, which happens about 10% of the time, is when CityMapper converts the place name into Hangul only (no Romanization, no English.) It makes it harder to know if CityMapper has found the right place, then you have to go back to Google to make sure the address is correct (address is always Romanized). I have found it to be my the one app I use for most of my navigating Seoul (I do fall back to Google + Copy/Paste + Uber for cabs.) I have found this to be surprisingly accurate.ĬityMapper also incorporates public transit and will display bus stops and which direction to ride subway lines. When you enter a search string, it Googles the term and shows you the addresses associated with the search results (when you search it says, 'Powered by Google'). Otherwise, you get the dreaded 'No Results Found' and then you have to Google the English name, copy the Korean address, then paste it into Naver Maps.ĬityMapper basically does this for you. Naver Maps only finds the English names of places if the place has registered an English name.
