Google Maps answers to “What’s Here?”

Google_Maps_Whats_here

Google has unveiled a new feature for Google Maps. While it’s great tool to find directions from one place to another,or the nearest grocery store or mechanic to a certain location,it isn’t so great when you are trying to figure out what else is in a certain area. Let’s say you are visiting a new city,you want to be able to find out what else is in the area you are going to. Till now,you would have had to check other sites,or try different keywords in Google Maps. Now you can just right click on a location in Google Maps,and select What’s Here?. While still in it’s infancy (when I checked near my apartment,the only thing it returned was a restaurant 4 blocks away,ignoring at least 30 other restaurants and bars,my apartment building itself,and countless stores),it returns a list of major locations in the area (which are sure to grow rapidly).
