I just noticed that Google Maps now shows thumbnails and reviews next to search listings. How long has that been happening? This is the first time I've ever seen this in any of my searches.

It's been there quite a while, I prefer the "Map View" though. |
I've only seen thumbnails and reviews show up when I hit 'More Info' on one of the map popups. Never on the search results side. |
Thanks. Absolutely new information here, I believe many others users share this situation. |
Yeah, it's been around for a couple of months.

I think the reason I hadn't noticed it was because I use the default 'search the map' search method. The images and reviews don't show up in the search results section when you search that way.Today was the first time I had to specifically find several businesses. |
