Comprehensive pedestrian routes
The Drop-in app offers information about walking paths in 149 Korean towns and cities, including Seoul, Busan, and Jeju Island.

The pedestrian–oriented service allows users to make their walking trip safely while sightseeing around pedestrian paths. The service is offered in five languages: Korean, English, simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese, and Japanese. The service is updated on a regular basis, and the service has expanded to locations around the Winter Olympics sports venues. This will be especially convenient for foreigners who visit Gangwon-do province, the host region for the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics.
Detailed location information
The app provides users with detailed, practical information. Users can see available translation services, photos, and basic information like business locations, hours, phone numbers, and menus.
