South Korea's government on February 27 conditionally approved Google's request to transfer high-precision map data overseas, subject to supplementary measures addressing security concerns. The decision follows Google's February 2025 application for 1:5,000-scale map data to its overseas data centers. Previous similar requests in 2007 and 2016 were rejected over national security issues.
