"Google has made inroads into the famously reclusive North Korea once again, after North Korea Tech spotted that there is now satellite navigation on Google Maps for the country.\r\n\r\nLast year, an updated\u00A0Google Maps for North Korea came about after input from the Google Map Maker tool, with points of interest, roads and the like being added. Now you can actually figure out how to drive from one point to another via Google Maps.\r\n\r\nHowever, there are currently only driving directions and no option for public transport, even though Google Maps displays railway lines and tram lines in the country's capital city of Pyongyang. North Korea Tech notes that this is because\u00A0there is no timetable data for public transport in the system (yet).\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWith North Korea's harsh restrictions on internet access for its citizens, and as\u00A0freedom of movement for North Koreans is severely limited, the feature likely isn't meant for people who stay in the country, but more for outsiders to get a glimpse of the (driving) situation inside.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHowever, if anyone in North Korea manages to get internet access and is up for walking days on end and hiding from authorities, North Korea Tech also spotted that you can plot an escape route from one of the concentration camps called Yodok to the Chinese border.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 North Korea driving instructions come to Google Maps\r\n\r\nHeadline image via Shutterstock"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
