On the Lat Long Blog, Google announced a new right-click menu feature for its Maps service. Now, when users click on "What's here?", Google will try to return specific results, either an address, a "natural feature," or a place name. The "What's here?" function, used in conjunction with "At this address," can even list businesses located at the specified address. However, all of this is just hypothetical. In the blog post announcement, the conditions for enabling the new feature seem rather lengthy and cumbersome.
