Google Maps Update!
Looks like they integrated it--and it look great.
Do a search for an address in Google, and you get offered Google Maps, Mapquest or Yahoo! Maps, with the default being Google Maps.
A Google Map also appears in local search.
Barry from RustyBrick (who I went to high school with) is concerned with the URL displayed for local search/map results and that the info presented is sometimes out-of-date.
I think the important thing to remember here is that Google is a search engine, local a yellow pages directory. The URL presented is just one of the many sources used to find something at a certain location. Google Inc may be found through digitalpoint.com, just as I am found at Did-it.com via eMediaWire.com. And because the address info is taken from these source sites, if they are out-of-date, Google will be out of date.
