01

Choose the exact place

  1. Open a place from our map or copy its Korean name and address into NAVER Map.
  2. Compare city, district and branch name before selecting the result.
  3. Set the destination to the venue itself, not just a nearby station. Check the address if translated names differ.

02

Read the whole public transport route

  1. Choose public transport and check the departure point. Correct it if your location is wrong.
  2. Open route details: walk to stop → line and direction → transfer → get off → final walk.
  3. Compare transfer count and walking distance as well as total time. Refresh the route near departure.
  4. For a late return, search at the expected return time and check that all connections operate.

From the station to the entrance

Check the numbered exit, crossings and actual building entrance. A pin's centre is not always the public entrance.

With a suitcase or mobility needs, check the lift's street-level connection before committing to the shortest walk. Use Facilities on our Map to locate listed facilities; check station signs too.

Keep a usable backup

  1. Keep the Korean name, address and an outline of the route offline.
  2. If you save places or routes inside NAVER Map, sign into NAVER first. Our own Save and Trip plan are separate.
  3. If a stop or walking segment differs from reality, follow local signs and use NAVER's route-details correction option to report it.
  4. If the blue location dot jumps, move to an identifiable landmark and set the departure point manually.
