Google meets Korea's map data security terms

The South Korean government confirmed Friday that Google has complied with security requirements imposed for transferring high-precision map data overseas, ending about two decades of debate. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said it reviewed and verified Google's implementation of conditions attached to its February approval for exporting 1:5,000 scale maps, including coordinate removal, image security processing, and data security measures. Yonhap reports the ministry will revoke the permit if violations are found. Korean media, including Dong-A Ilbo, describe the move as a step closer to Google using the data, with KBS World noting the company is now closer to utilizing South Korea's high-precision map data.
