Apple's new maps suck. Everyone knows that. They especially stink in South Korea.

According to Livedoor, The Korean government is asking Apple to make the necessary corrections—and is going one step further by offering what exactly needs to be fixed.
The country's mountainous terrain is no doubt difficult to map, and there are bound to be blunders. Most likely, this isn't trolling! But given the recent legal spat between the two companies, I'm not entirely convinced this Samsung mistake was not...
