## What is Local Link?

Local Link helps you search overseas places in the map app that works best for each region.

When a place name is written in another script, heard by sound, or typed in a Romanized form, ordinary map search can miss it. Local Link turns one input into useful local search candidates, then opens the right map flow for the country you choose.

【Core】

• Type it any way you know
Phonetic, Romanized, local script, and spelling variants become candidates automatically.

• Open regional map apps faster
Choose a country and city once, then send the best search text to the map app used for that region.

• 2,800+ pre-registered place aliases across 8 countries
Stations, landmarks, markets, malls, chain stores, airports, ferries, and bus terminals.

• 5 languages
Korean · English · Japanese · Chinese (Simplified) · Chinese (Traditional)

• iCloud sync
Saved places and recent searches sync automatically across devices on the same Apple ID.

• iPhone + iPad universal
All devices. Light and dark mode automatic.

• 100% on-device
No server. No account. No ads. No tracking. No location permission required.

【Best for】

• Finding places in Korea, China, Taiwan, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong, and Macau
• Turning heard or Romanized names into local-script search candidates
• Saving useful travel searches and reopening them later
• Adding country and city context to avoid wrong search results

【Support】

Regions: Korea · China · Taiwan · Japan · Thailand · Vietnam · Hong Kong · Macau
Cities: 29 destinations including Seoul, Busan, Jeju, Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Taipei, Kaohsiung, Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Ho Chi Minh, Hanoi, Hong Kong, and Macau
