The purpose of this article is to arrange how the studies about Daedongyeojido have been done in the academic field in terms of checking the history of research and to show what kind of tasks are still remained. As widely known, Daedongyeojido (大東輿地圖, 'The Great Map of Korea') is located at the end of the history of ancient map development. Now the studies about Daedongyeojido are going in progress to the three different directions about Kim Jung-ho, map, and geography book. During the 1920s, when Kim Jung-ho was initially studied, some stories were spread. It was about the Kim Jung-ho's almost legendary experiences, such as Kim Jung-ho climbed Baek-du mountain many times or he died in the prison, things like that. Even though the stories are far from the truth, it has been handed down to us. Between the 1960s and the 1970s, there were many researches that tried to systemize the history of ancient map development. After entering the 1980s, the new data were found and the Daedongyeojido was reissued. And then, using the reissued one, detailed researches were conducted. So under this situation, we were facing a new phase to study about Daedongyeojido. For that time, not a few point of disputes were floated, such as there are what kind of relations between the map and the geography book which were drown by Kim Jung-ho and how the genealogy was composed that was passed to Daedongyeojido and what kind of mapping style was used for Daedongyeojido and how much reduced scale was used for Daedongyeojido. For the researching process, we got some confusion. For a long time the scholars who have been researching mapping style guessed the western science affected to Daedongyeojido, but between Daedongyeojido and western science, literally there is no relations. Nowadays, geographers are producing meaningful outcomes of study that were related to genealogy of map, but the analysis did not consider the other related variables. Now, the questions about Kim Jung-ho and Daedongyeojido, will be solved by understanding him and his map among the period and the context that he lived.
