A new Google Maps feature allows you to right click on a location in a Google Map, choose “What’s here” from the bottom of the menu, and get an address and a list of businesses at/near that point. When I clicked on the hospital across from my house, I got two graffiti pictures (which are not of the hospital) and no indication it was a hospital. When I clicked on a business in Davis Square I got the Joshua Tree (a bar) and a tanning salon. Yes, both are in the area. I also got an ad for a hotel in Joshua Tree, CA.
Interesting idea, not sure how it’ll be used.
