Sad thing about Google Map


Maps for Japan on Google Map seem to be provided by a Japanese map company already. The sad thing about it is, of course, because of that, even Korea Strait is marked 'Sea of Japan' (see the body of water between Korea and Japan; Koreans prefer to call the vast sea next to the Korean peninsula 'East Sea').

The other sad thing is, Google Map still lacks any Korean maps. Yes, there are various websites that have online map of Korea, but they're not as cross-platform happy. I hope to see Google Map sign a contract with a local map maker to have the map filled in.
