Three methods
- Scratch-off poster — fun on the wall; region size depends on the product.
- Google My Maps — pins for places; regions don’t really get "colored in".
- City/county coloring app — Korea split into cities, counties and districts, with progress counted.
Korea scratch map
Scratching reveals where you’ve been, and it’s on the wall every day. It can’t be undone, it doesn’t record when or with whom, and the poster stays the same when administrative boundaries change.
Google My Maps
Great for pinning restaurants and hotels. It won’t color in "I’ve been to Gyeongju" as a region or tell you how many of the country’s areas you’ve seen.
City/county coloring app
These are real screens from the Android app "Korea Visited".
Tap a province to zoom, tap a city to log it
Tap a province on the national map to zoom in, then tap a city, county or district to open its visit card. Long-press to paint or clear it with today’s date. The top shows progress like "15 / 256 painted · 5.9%".
Inside a province
A province view shows only its areas, large, with its own progress such as "7 / 25 painted · 28.0%" for Seoul.
