It's pretty easy to use even if you don't know hangu. You just navigate to it from maps.google.com and you can use romanisations.

Cool and all, but why is is that I can zoom so close on maps.google.com:

http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=36.771789,126.937344&spn=0.001938,0.005493&t=h&z=18


but on maps.google.co.kr this is the closest I can zoom?


http://maps.google.co.kr/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=ko&geocode=&q=%EC%88%9C%EC%B2%9C%ED%96%A5%EB%8C%80%ED%95%99%EA%B5%90&sll=36.782342,127.077141&sspn=0.132812,0.30899&ie=UTF8&ll=36.76842,126.940327&spn=0.015504,0.043945&t=h&z=15

Daum's new feature is Street View for all of Gyonggi-do. With a fast internet connection, it's amazing! Makes scoping out new places really easy.

Check it out!

Do you have a link for that? I know how to get to Daum obviously but can't figure out how to get to Street View. All I can get is the satellite photos from above. Or is this what you meant?
