So for as much flack that the new Maps app is getting, I'm actually finding that is actually has some useful upsides as well.
For example, if I zoom into the local corner here near my house, it shows me a few businesses on which I can tap on and then get all sort of information, like phone number, website, hours open, photos and Yelp reviews. On the old Google based Maps app, it shows businesses, but I can't actually tap on any of them (have to do a specific search for a place and once it drops a pin, then you can tap on the dropped pin for the info).
It's weird how each show different restaurants and shops though, on the same intersection and while Google does show more shops, neither shows them all.
Apple Maps:
Mi Familia Mexican Food
Hot Bagels and Deli
