Hey guys...
I am not sure if this has been mentioned before, but did anyone of you see the maps in the Google SERP?

I realized it by accident while searching for "info whitehorse" on google.com this morning for testing the new 'info' parameter and wikipedia onebox.

It seems there are hits in the SERP that show up with a little (+) in front of the address, clicking on it reveals a detailed map.$

Here 2 screenshots:

I have covered the news on my blog, GERMAN only.
