Google does have an UX bug in its search/map product.
Let's say I google for "kuka deutschland". In my case, the first result is a link to KUKA, with sublinks to different sections of their website.
Next there's a map with A-, B-, C-markers, and below them fields with A: KUKA Deutschland GmbH [other info, website, route] B: KUKA Systems GmbH [...] and so on.
If I now click on A: KUKA Deutschland GmbH or on the map, then the map opens completely, with a left sidebar containing more related places, a popup with the currently selected item open which contains plenty-full information about the marker on the map.
The issue is that this is not a Google Maps map, it is not hosted under maps.google.com, but any normal person would expect to be able to interact with this map as if it were a normal map: have a button for satellite imagery, 3d-view and all of this, the ability have the normal Google Maps sidebar at my disposal. But this does no exists.
The worst thing about this view is that there is no link to Google Maps which would open that same view in Google Maps.
