there's plenty but they're all expensive. I think the Olleh Navi is free though. |

| I don't know if you must be a SK customer, but I heard that T Maps (especially the 3.0 version) is the best. Personally, I haven't tried it yet so I can't vouch for it, but just throwing it out there. |

T-Map............it comes preinstalled on Galaxy range.
Do you mean a fully-fledged navigation app using GPS?
Or just something to show possible routes? |

The T-Map is really good, problem is it's all in Korean. My Korean vocabulary is much bigger now with the relevant words.
Most difficult is that you have to notice the small difference between get 'to the underpass' or 'next to the underpass'. Actually in one look at the icon on the screen you know what to do.
Recently I started to use Waze, it's a community application, and not enough Koreans are using it yet, but it's already useful for the main roads.
if many will start to use it' it will become better than the alternatives. |

Olleh Navi is free. It is very good. It's a little slow to update when you come out of a tunnel though. So if you use it, I would recommend looking at your next two turns as well as your odometer before you go into a tunnel.
I have used it extensively this past week in Gyoungju, Busan, and Daegu and it worked flawlessly. |
