"Sorry, your search appears to be outside our current coverage area for driving."
I get this message when trying to see a driving route from Seoul airport to my hotel - can anyone explain this please?
Thanks

there is some info on this if you search online, relates to no Google servers in South Korea
eg "Google Maps has a solid reputation for being pretty unreliable in Korea. It doesn't work well since the South Korean government requires that any mapping data be stored on local servers for national security purposes. So, you are going to want to download either KakaoMap or Naver Map"
