> All I wanted to do earlier was drop the pin at my current location (which Google Maps couldn't divine due to no GPS) and then "Search Nearby" for eating places. /me goes to maps.google.com clicks on a random area of the map a "location" card pops up with lat/long and estimated name clicks on the card to validate the location a second card pops up below with a street view shot, "photos", "explore this area" with "search nearby" and "getting around" with traffic and travel options a third "quick facts" card is slid below clicks on "search nearby" and types "restaurants" Also possible: type "restaurants near whatever", or simply "restaurants", which scopes the request on the current viewport. Seriously.
