Found it on Google Maps, but can't get there? In Korea, Google Maps gets you to the nearest subway station. The last walk to the door usually needs Naver Map or KakaoMap, and those apps match Korean names. Local Link turns the name you know into the Korean search text and opens it in Naver Map or KakaoMap in one tap. Beyond Korea, Local Link does the same for China (Amap), Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong, and Macau: type a place name any way you know it, get local-script candidates, and open the map app that works best there. 【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.
