Seoul: The South Korean government on Tuesday suspended its review of Google's request to export high-precision maps overseas, asking the U.S. tech giant to supplement its documentation.

During a review meeting, a government consultative body requested Google submit revised documents by Feb. 5, with the review process suspended until then, according to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, reports Yonhap news agency.

The government panel consists of several relevant ministries, including the defence, foreign affairs and science ministries.

It was the third review meeting on the issue since Google filed its request in February, seeking approval to transfer 1:5,000-scale high-precision map data to its data centres abroad. Read Also BGMI 4.1 Update Rolls Out In India Tomo
