828390 2009-11-10 00:15:00 Apparently Google maps are becoming increasing popular for businesses worldwide - as businesses can easily get listed and displayed in the "10 or 8 pack" which shows local listings (Google - Pizza or Wine to see what I mean).So good for increased hits...and business.

They also have made results more user generated - i.e. more options for display. I get more about 5 x visitors to my hotel review site from utilizing Google maps than from standard search. Google have now made listings a bit more involved to reduce false business physical listings including dropping PO No.'s as described at Search Engine Land (searchengineland.com)...

828392 2009-11-10 23:12:00 Just a question, if any of you have used Google Maps with the coordinates (GPS), are they accurate? Nomad (952)
828393 2009-11-10 23:59:00 Within a couple of metres on the ones I checked.
(Not very many, they were consistently as close as I could check, so I did a Hone and went off to do something more interesting.)
