Know of a way for someone who's very limited in Korean to be able to navigate that site? |

| Daum maps app for the iphone/touch also includes mobile street view so you can check that out on the go. You can also get bus directions on the go with it too. |

I have an iPhone (original) in the U.S. Can I use it as a cell phone in Korea or is it only good for apps since they use a different cell phone frequency? |

I use wikimapia.org to find my way around Korea.
lots of good places have been labeled and you can label anything yourself.
it's a map of the entire world so you can label your house in your country too |

The iphone isn't out here yet, but its coming soon...maybe.. it would only be good for apps for the time being. I don't know though that you could ever get a US/Can one set up here. |

| I'm never able to get the first one to work. Nothing comes up in the map section. I think I have active-x and nothing comes up for me to install it. |

I wish someone would start a massive Mozilla Firefox/any-other-efficient-browser-besides-Internet-Explorer conversion in the Korean people. GAH. Not to mention that IE is just... bad but... what about us Mac users in Korea, too?! |

the most obvious
maps.google.com
type in what you're looking for, add a comma, type in the location and you are good to go
used this plenty of times in the US as well as the UK and China and Japan |

| wikimapia is probably the best map for non-Korean speakers. In fact it may be the best period. |

Try chrome, it's probably the fastest and most memory efficient browser out right now |

Its not that great in Korea. they've only recently added street level maps . For example 노래방, korea returns nothing around my area at all..yet there are 30 within a 5 minute walk..

You guys should really look at the places you're recommending...
half the streets aren't there, I can't see anyway to get directions, etc. |
