<div>I am totally blown away by the level of detail provided by
the map providers in Korea. Even the navigation devices they use
in almost any vehicle is of a much higher level than anything I
have seen outside. As the car approaches a flyover or a
junction, the device actually renders a 3d view of the area from
the pov of the vehicle, with detailed buildings, trees and
lighting to match the time of the day. Each lane of the road is
marked with turn restrictions and speed limits.<br>

<div>All the gloating we do of the capabilities of osm fades in
comparison to what's been achieved here. We are years away from
reaching such a level where it will possible to crowdsource data
to such a detailed level in a consistent manner.</div>

Even if you don't read Korean you can still appreciate the
scope and scale of<br>
their undertaking. The datasets are also unique- take a look
at the same<br>
area from the different providers. Click on various icons to
see aerial<br>
photos and Daum's street view. Also provided: route planning,
traffic<br>
density, and the weather for the chunk of map you are looking
at. Oh, and as<br>
well as the distance and journey time the route planner will
tell you the<br>
taxi fare you would have to pay.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
