Google Map
I have just opened up a google map of Cambodia but all the names etc, are in Khmer script. How does one change this to English ?

I found out how to do it, at first a bit of a hit and miss as still have to click on Khmer text.

The maps of the city seem to show the Khmer street names ( in Roman script) which is great but many of these names aren't well known, even by local residents. If I said Plow Yothapol Khemarak Poumin, for example, would you know which street I meant? That's a fairly well known name, but the number Bi (roy)-Jet Mouay is much more commonly understood.
It takes more scrolling/ zooming to figure the street numbers, which are nowhere near as prominent. Otherwise it's a great resource.

Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
