Add Google search to your Web site
Loaded: Google goes international
The good: Searches reveal relevant information such as phone numbers and addresses; easy pan and zoom features; lets you find types of businesses in a particular area; step-by-step driving directions; click-to-dial feature in Google Local for Mobile.
The bad: Google Local for Mobile works only on Java-enabled phones, leaving Verizon users in the cold, and you'll need a data service plan for your phone, which will put you out $60 to $80 per month.
The bottom line: Google Local and Local for Mobile give you a handy visual view of locations you're interested in, plus let you search the surrounding areas for other items of interest.
