That could be my whole blog post. Just a PSA. Google Maps in Seoul is like Apple Maps was when they launched — dangerously inaccurate. *Apologies in advance — I don’t know what is helpful on iOS. I traveled last year with Android only, and my searches so far on iOS are coming up short.*
So what should you use? Anything OSM-based isn’t too bad. I really like OSMAnd. I haven’t done any deep analyses in this space, but OSMAnd has served me well.
I adore the subway system in Seoul. It’s considered one of the largest in the world, *ranks among the best, cleanest, etc.. Many stations are like 5 story malls that happen to have trains at the bottom, it’s really surreal. Oh, and for an English speaker it’s not hard at all to navigate. Almost everything is in romanized characters / English*+ Korean, and the trains play nice sounding music as they approach.
It doesn’t hurt to have a good app, however. Subway Korea, though a little strange in interface is absolutely amazing once you use it.
