Google Maps has just launched a new and nifty feature: suggestions of similar places to your search query in maps. So if you search for Best Buy in your designated area, Maps will suggest (in the more information tab) nearby businesses and places that might be of interest to you, such as other Best Buy stores in the area.

I thought it did this already, must have just been places people had tagged... sounds like it could be of use... and another possible revenue stream for them eh!

Nope.  They will be telling you which of your neighbours bought from the nearby businesses as well soon.
