I’m a student based in South Korea, and I built Wayin Korea out of pure frustration. If you’ve ever visited Seoul, you probably noticed something crazy: Google Maps walking directions do not work here due to national security laws. You just get a blue dot. Because of this, I see foreign tourists getting totally lost every single day trying to navigate our alleyways. The local alternative is Naver Map, but copying and pasting unreadable Korean addresses from Google Maps is a nightmare for travelers. So, I coded a quick V1 utility to bridge the gap. How it works: Just copy any Google Maps link, open Wayin Korea, and it instantly drops a pin in the exact same spot on the local map app. No more copy-pasting text! Full transparency on monetization 💸: To keep this app 100% free and hopefully cover some server costs (and my coffee), I’ve placed some Klook affiliate travel recommendations at the bottom of the app. If the UI for these ads looks a bit clunky or disrupts the UX, please roast me! I’d seriously love your honest feedback on how to place them better. This is a very early V1, so any feedback on the core conversion feature, the design, or just your own stories of getting lost in Korea would mean the world to me. Thanks for checking it out! 🚀🇰🇷
