  ZoneName = GetRealZoneText();
  ZoneName = GetRealZoneText();


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"). 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.
