The National Geographic Information Institute under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said on the 5th that it will extend the processing period for the overseas export of domestic maps applied for by U.S. company Apple.

This is because Apple asked to extend the processing period to supplement its application. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) extended the processing period for as long as it takes to submit the supplemented application.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) plans to make a final decision after a review by the consultative body on overseas export once Apple organizes its position on post-management measures such as video security processing, restrictions on displaying coordinates, and domestic server installation and submits a supplemented application.
