Google announced that but I wonder how geo names are agreed upon internationally, if at all. They must have names in the local language so when Google presents a map to someone in China they won't be using Mount Everest.
Yeah when I’ve used Google maps to get around in other countries is switches to local names. I’m sure it uses your location data to switch to whatever is appropriate.
Geo Names aren't really agreed internationally, there is a lot of debate in certain languages about translating or not translating geographic names - and the way that Google handles certain names can be confusing, and has been for some time.
