You found the place on Naver Map, but the coordinates are buried in the URL and the person you are sending it to uses Google Maps. A small bar now sits at the top of map.naver.com with the current latitude and longitude, plus buttons to copy it or reopen the spot elsewhere.

Copying coordinates out of Naver Map (map.naver.com) and reopening the same spot in Kakao Map or Google Maps is a hassle.

This extension adds a small floating panel on map.naver.com. It reads the current map center's latitude/longitude straight from the URL, shows it, and lets you copy it or jump to the same place in another map app.

사용법 / How to use

Screenshots

What it does

  • Open map.naver.com and move to a place or location.

  • The floating panel shows the current coordinates.

  • Click 카카오맵 열기 / 구글맵 열기, or 좌표 복사 / 주소 복사.

  • Shows the map-center coordinates as WGS84 latitude/longitude (handles both the new /p/ URL format and the old v5 format).

  • Opens the location in Kakao Map (place name + coordinates via the Kakao link URL).

  • Opens the location in Google Maps by coordinates, or by place name when no coordinates are available.

  • Copies the coordinates as "lat,lng" to the clipboard.

  • Copies the address when Naver exposes it on the page (best-effort).

  • Updates the coordinates live as you pan/zoom, and keeps the panel in place through Naver's in-page navigation.

When you'd reach for it

  • Sending a Korean address to someone who uses Google Maps

    Find the spot on Naver, then click 구글맵 열기. A new tab opens a Google Maps search for the exact lat,lng of the map center, so the pin lands in the right place even when the business has no English listing. If no coordinates can be read from the URL, it falls back to searching the place name taken from the page title.

  • Pulling latitude and longitude into a spreadsheet or code

    좌표 복사 puts the pair on the clipboard as plain "lat,lng" text, rounded to six decimal places, which pastes straight into a sheet cell, a geocoding script or a CSV. The value is the center of the current viewport, so pan until the marker sits under the middle of the map before you copy.

  • Handing a place off to Kakao Map for directions

    카카오맵 열기 builds a Kakao link from the place name plus the coordinates and opens it in a new tab, which is where you go when you actually need Korean transit or driving directions. The name comes from the document title, the URL path or the search box, whichever is filled in.

Questions people ask

How do I get coordinates from Naver Map?

Open map.naver.com and move the map to what you want. The panel at the top reads the c= parameter out of the address bar and shows it as WGS84 latitude and longitude, updating as you pan and zoom. Click 좌표 복사 to put it on the clipboard as lat,lng.

How do I open a Naver Map location in Google Maps?

Click 구글맵 열기 in the panel. It opens google.com/maps in a new tab with the coordinates as the search query. Nothing is copied or pasted by hand, and the original Naver tab stays where it was.

Are the coordinates the pin, or the middle of the screen?

They are the middle of the screen. Naver keeps the viewport center in the URL, and that is the only value readable from outside the map, so the panel reports the map center rather than the selected place marker. Center the marker before copying if you need the exact spot.

Why does copy address not always work?

The place detail panel on Naver is a cross-origin iframe, so its address text cannot be read from the main page. The button tries a list of selectors that sometimes expose an address in the outer document, and shows a message telling you to open the place detail and retry when it finds nothing. Coordinates are the reliable path.

What permissions does this extension need?

None. The manifest declares no chrome permissions and no host permissions at all — only a content script matched to map.naver.com and its subdomains, which is what draws the panel and reads the URL. Buttons open Kakao Map or Google Maps in a new tab with window.open.
