The Maps department have been hard at work adding some new tabs to Google Maps. The new tabs that were created are: Search the map, Find businesses, and Get directions. The new addition of “Find businesses” looks like it might even more of a “Local” thing than anything to me. Trying to the the nearest Best Buy to your house or trying to find the closest Hilton hotel to where you’re staying next. Google maps has truly revolutionized the mapping industry through the use of AJAX and map browsing. Personally, I like the use of tabs that Google has implemented on Google Maps and throughout other applications which are being developed. See below the visual of what I’m talking about.
