</div>I would love to be able to see a map with München (Munich) on it. I am going<br>
there on vacation, but I don't speak German. It would be handy to know the<br>
real name for the places I only know the English name of.<br>
<br>
I'm not advocating this for 'Standard' map tiles at <a href="http://osm.org" target="_blank">osm.org</a>, but some feature<br>
from some map service whereby I can get a nice map labelled with one or two<br>
languages of my choice.<br>
