congnamul

A while back, Antti introduced me to the maps connected to 서울’s new address system.  Recently, 인선 showed me a different sort of map site: congnamul.

One chief advantage is that it’s not just 서울...it’s the whole country.  So the same zoomy looks I can have around the capital I can have elsewhere.

There are sections for driving directions, medical services, restaurants, and 서울 traffic information. The aerial photo section looks interesting, but I can’t make the encoding work properly, so I can’t read the tags at all.

Some parts of the site seem to require payment. Being that’s it all in Korean, it’s difficult for me to navigate, so I can’t find where I discovered that part.

콩나물:  bean sprouts.

콩나물 버스: an overloaded [a jam-packed] bus.

It's a while since I've used congnamul but when I last did, I found you have to change the "Language for non-Unicode programs" option to Korean. If you're on Windows XP, it's on the Advanced tab of Regional & Language in Control Panel. All the Korean text should then be O.K. -- but it might confuse other software. (It's because they were using Java which doesn't co-operate with Windows' language settings properly.)

Thanks for the congnamul link. That is a cool digital map of Korea. Great for finding back-alley places in Seoul. Keep posting and great site.
