Google Maps Now Shows More Than 10 Results

Oh, happy day! Have you ever searched for a local business on Google Maps and wished you got more than 10 results at a time? Well, now the Google genie has granted your wish.

Conduct a search now and see a bunch of tiny red dots all showing where results related to your search are located. I love this feature because it shows me all of the possibilities for what I'm searching for - in the location I'm searching for.

Before, if I did a search, it might show results scattered all around town, and I would have to click through tens or hundreds of results to see what's available in a specific area of town.

Right now, this is only available for maps.google.com, but expect it to roll out to other mapping products in the future (Mobile please!!!)
