KakaoMap has launched an 'Indoor Map' service that allows users to check locations such as shopping mall escalators and restrooms.


On the 30th, Kakao added an indoor map feature to KakaoMap that lets users view floor-by-floor maps within shopping malls.

When searching for stores in shopping malls where indoor maps are provided, such as department stores and large outlets, users can see detailed maps of the floors where the stores are located. Users can also identify their current location through information about nearby stores. The locations of convenience facilities such as elevators, escalators, and restrooms can be checked by floor.


Buildings offering indoor maps are marked with a different outline compared to other buildings. When zooming in on a building with an indoor map, detailed indoor maps for each floor can be viewed.


KakaoMap’s indoor maps are quickly updated with information on newly opened and closed stores within shopping malls.


Additionally, KakaoMap provides a Trend Ranking update that shows local restaurant rankings. In the Seoul, Gyeonggi, Incheon, and Jeju areas, restaurant rankings are available down to the eup, myeon, and dong levels. In other regions, rankings can be viewed by city, county, or district levels.



The Trend Ranking feature allows users to check restaurants based on search, favorites, friend sharing, and directions. Users can also use the 'View by Nearest' option to reorder the rankings by proximity.
