jairmew Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I have a Garmin GPSMap 60CS. As far as I can tell there are no detail/street maps of South Korea--only the very low quality WorldMap. There is some third party company in Korea that has maps, but all the info is in korean and i don't even know if they would work with a unit bought here. Are there any street maps for a gps unit (or PDA) for South Korea that are in English (and aren't too expensive)? I was hoping for something pocket sized--I'm sure I could use my laptop, but that's no fun. Any suggestions appreciated. Quote Link to comment
SandyGarrity Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 (edited) You can always use a GPS with a paper map, if one is produced. I use my GPS overseas and always use paper maps - much less hassel Edited May 14, 2007 by SandyGarrity Quote Link to comment

SandyGarrity Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 My only experance is with European maps - they usually have a grid marked on them which corrosponds to one in the GPS or looking at the outer edge there is a Long and Lat printed. Sorry I can't give you any details about Asia. Quote Link to comment
+hobbycachegirl Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 You may try this link for more information. [http://user.chollian.net/~boonstra/korea/sebu.htm] You may find what you need here and the info seems current. I lived in So. Korea for a little over a year but that was over 10 years ago. Things are very busy in Seoul it would have been helpful to have a GPS. Good luck. Quote Link to comment
+NightPilot Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 GPS is very big in Korea now, but as you said, it's mostly in Korean, for Koreans. All I can suggest is Google. It finds almost everything I need. Quote Link to comment
