You've been bale to view Korea with google maps for over two years.
They started putting some city names on the map about 8 months ago. |

| I'm a big fan of Wikimapia.org because it lets people label the stuff on the maps, so it's easiest to find your way around. |

| What I'd really like to see is street names and maybe even businesses like they have the Canada and the US. Riiiight... like that will happen any time soon. |

| Daum just updated their maps which now include up-to-date satellite imagery and street view. Some Korean knowledge is preferable to navigate their site though. |

There are Korean equivalents. Although many or most streets in Seoul don't have names. It's only recently that Seoul has started trying to give streets names and getting rid of the horrible japanese system. |

Not bad, but looks like it only shows major streets. |
