About this app

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

Planning a trip abroad? Type a place name the way you heard it, and Local Link turns it into local-language map search.

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.

• 4 map apps: Google Maps, Naver Map, KakaoMap, Amap
The search is sent to the map app that works best for the country you choose.

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

• Saved on your device
Saved places and recent searches stay on your phone, ready to reopen during your trip.

• Phones and tablets
Light and dark mode automatic.

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

What’s new

New: Google Maps link → walking route.
Paste a place link from Google Maps and Local Link opens the walking route in Naver Map or KakaoMap — no Korean name needed for the last walk from the station to the door. In China it hands off to Amap; elsewhere to Google Maps.

• Paste a map link with one tap on the Search screen, or right into the search field
• Reads the place name, location, and country from the link, plus local-script names when we know them
• Save walking routes to reopen later
