Google Maps Dips Into Serendipity Suggestions

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. Apparently, suggestions to places aren't based on a specific characteristic. Google uses a "broad set of signals" to deliver recommendations. Google says they are working on the technology and from my experience, it's definitely rough. For a search for Best Buy in Chicago, I received recommendations for any businesses that had the terms "Best Buy" in it.
