Seoul launches mobile map service
The Seoul Metropolitan Government has just recently launched the “Smart Seoul Map”, the South Korean capital’s smartphone app service that consists of 124 basic maps and enables users to locate 782 types of Point of Interests in the city.
According to an official statement from the Seoul Metropolitan Government, unlike existing commercial map services, the Smart Seoul Map app presents detailed map data, including alleys and the small buildings through an integrated search.
By geocoding the address information of administrative data managed by government agencies, the map allows the users to check their respective locations on the map.
The process of geocoding coverts address data into coordinates, this enables users to easily pinpoint the location of the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s administrative facilities.
In addition, the map provides eight theme maps, which features content on safe foods, personal service fee information, street addresses, address numbers, eco and cultural roads, public restrooms, and address numbers.
