I saw this in TC and have not seen it myself, but I will keep an eye out over the weekend.\u00a0 Basically, you could have a ad for beer or a bike shop or something based on the search.\u00a0 Also, it SEEMS uses can inject items into maps, but I think its more of where an item on the map came from.<\/p>\n

This could turn iphone google maps into a type of yelp I guess, and that may not be so bad, but my fear is when I search, say, sports bar, or car repair, I will get more ads then links to places I want to see.<\/p>\n

What bothers me is there\u00a0 is no way to turn this off!\u00a0 THAT is the major issue here. Still its early.\u00a0 We’ll see how this pans out.<\/p>\n
