POWER TIP
“What’s here?” in Google Maps
This new option on the right-click menu in Google Maps gives you the
most relevant results based on your current location, whether it’s a
specific address, a natural feature, or a place name. “What’s here?”
takes into account the zoom level you’re looking at to give you the
most appropriate geographical detail at that point. For example, if
you’re very zoomed in, you will get an exact address. If you’re more
zoomed out, you might get a neighborhood, a city or a state. If you
combine this with the “At this address” feature, you can also see a
list of the businesses located at that place.

The faster you can do what you need to do, the more time you have to
spend on things that might matter more. That’s one reason we care a
lot about speed — as in the speed of delivering your information to
you. The belief that faster is better is behind much of what we do,
from finding the most relevant search result for a query to releasing
a speedier version of Google Chrome. Lately, we’ve been working on
several initiatives dedicated to a faster experience on the Internet
overall. We’ve just introduced a site for developers full of tips and
tools for improved performance and speed on the web, as well as a call
for ideas on how to speed things up even more. We’ve also released
some speed updates to Google products, including Picasa Web Albums and
iGoogle for mobile phones. For updates on our efforts toward a faster
web, check out the “faster web” label on the Official Google Blog.

This is a new feature, that we observed while doing a Google Search. From now on, Google search results will provide various brands to choose from while searching.
For example doing a search for ‘Car’, gives you Nissan, Toyota and Ford brands on the top of search results.
Similarly, as long as you’re buying something online, Google can give you results of the famous brands. Although, we are not sure if this is a new feature by the search giant.
Here is a screenshot:
