Korea confirms Google met high-precision map security terms

The South Korean government confirmed on Nov. 13 that Google has fulfilled the security conditions attached to its February permit to export 1:5,000-scale high-precision map data overseas. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's consultation body reviewed Google's implementation of measures including coordinate removal, image security processing, data processing, and security review, with Yonhap reporting the compliance check. The Korea Times and KBS World also reported the confirmation, with the latter noting Google is now closer to using the data. Dong-A Ilbo described the move as ending a roughly 20-year debate, and Chosun Ilbo identified T-map as a partner in the process.
