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.
