Google Publishes Detailed Map of North Korea

With the help of its community of citizen cartographers, Google has launched a detailed map for North Korea in Google Maps.

To build a complete map from what Google calls "very limited map data," the company used the data from users who added it using the Google Map Maker over the past few years.

Though the new map offers a fascinating insight into the most isolated country in the world, Google readily admits it still needs work.

"We know this map is not perfect — one of the exciting things about maps is that the world is a constantly changing place. We encourage people from around the world to continue helping us improve the quality of these maps for everyone with Google Map Maker," Jayanth Mysore, Senior Product Manager at Google Map Maker wrote in a blog post.
