tried using Naver Map during my trip to Seoul, but my experience was extremely disappointing. My account was suddenly suspended due to "suspicious activity" before I even had a chance to use the app. I created a second account while already in Korea, and it was canceled again for the same reason. I reached out to User Support, but they told me there was nothing they could do. Completely frustrating and unhelpful. If you're a traveler, I strongly recommend using Kakao Map instead.

only reason I downloaded it is cause Google maps doesn't work in Korea but experience has been a night mare nothing like the Google one. Hard to navigate and can't find places unless you type the name precisely as the system likes it. When looking for routes it also proposes you a new one every minute. lastly, links of places shared are very hard to open. Also, GPS location is way off compared to Google. Will uninstall immediately after leaving Korea

first of all, if this app works for you or you're in korea, its a good app. the only and biggest problem that apparently many people face is that if you're not in korea/have q korean phone number, it suspends your account and its umpossible to get it back. i made my account, saved all the places and routes for my trip to korea later. about 2 days later, account is suspended and i cant do anything about it. im gonna move to kakao maps now
