Google Maps update for: Russia, Turkey, Taiwan, Thailand, Croatia, Slovenia, Lithuania!
Google Maps Mania readers from around the world are noting updates to Google Maps in several countries worldwide today! Here is the rundown of countries that are seeing updates:
In some cases there are enhancements to the road/street maps that were there previously (Greece for example) and for some countries streets and roads are completely new (Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey) This update of streets, roads and other points of interest will have a huge impact on users of Google Maps in these areas. It means that satellite imagery is now more relevant and easier to identify when "sightseeing" using the hybrid map view toggle. In addition, Google's new My Maps map creation tool is now instantly available for millions of people to begin creating and sharing interesting maps for these countries!

bye...(sorry for my Tarzan`s english)
Note that the new street maps for Turkey, Taiwan, Croatia and Slovenia are from new data providers. The Taiwan streetmaps are copyright "Kingway" and Turkey, Croatia and Slovenia are copyright "AND".
The Russia streetmaps are copyright "Google" and the other new tiles are still "TeleAtlas".
Any idea if it is possible to change this to alternative languages to suit international audiences trying to find places?
