This is what I like about my Garmin, too.

That being said, before I go anywhere, Google Maps will show me the street layout, and let me get some idea of where I'm going. At least for you guys, you don't really have to worry about language changes - driving round Europe quite a bit, you'll find that what we call 'So-and-so Street' is actually just called And-so-so. Most of the time, a basic grounding in said language will help - I can get round name changes in Dutch, German, French, Spanish and Italian... send me to Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary, and I tend to get it all a bit wrong, and have to rely on the SatNav... I've not tried to check street names anywhere where they don't use the Latin Alphabet, but I'm not planning on trips to countries who use the Cyrillic or Arabic alphabets just yet...
