	When in an instance, returns the real name of the instance, not the name in the Minimap. (e.g. returns "The Stockade" whereas GetZoneText() returns "Stormwind Stockade").

(e.g. returns "The Stockade" whereas GetZoneText() returns "Stormwind Stockade"). Otherwise is identical to [[API_GetZoneText\|GetZoneText]].

			As of 4.? something this is no longer accurate. These appear to return the same thing. For example: GetInstanceInfo, GetRealZoneText, GetZoneText all return "Stormwind Stockade", however [[API GetMapNameByID\|GetMapNameByID(]][[API GetCurrentMapAreaID\|GetCurrentMapAreaID())]] now returns "The Stockade". As of 5.3, GetRealZoneText/GetZoneText do not always match GetMapNameByID or GetInstanceInfo.
