no directions like mapquest, but solid nonetheless. active-x required.

Daum Maps rules. They have a Google Maps-like street view too.

http://local.daum.net/map/index.jsp

AND you can use Firefox.

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?!
