Hi all,

Some of you may be interested in this...

Google earth's coverage of Korea is pitiful. One resourceful Korean has overcome this limitation by overlaying Naver Maps/Congnamul/Cyworld Maps onto the google earth satellite maps. Pretty cool!

Check out the link: http://aero.dnip.net/map/

That's awesome, but I can't figure out how to incorporate it into my google earth. I read the English explanation, but I'm still at a loss. Could you provide a step-by-step?

There are reasons why it's pitiful.

I heard it actually was better before, but it was considered to be too "helpful" to the North, and it was scaled-back after a gov't requested Google do so.

Ah! Sorry, I could have made it clearer.

Just download the KML files available at the site I linked up (click on the pictures at the bottom of the page) ... then drag the kml file into your google earth window. That's it!

Thanks. Got it working. I just had to click on the maps and Google Earth opened them auto-magically!

Any way I could get these files from someone? The link doesn't appear to be working anymore.
