- For example, you can type "Pizza San Francisco, CA" and a map will pop up with pizza restaurants located all over San Francisco.

- Hover over the pins to see the name of the restaurant and click on them to view more information, read reviews, or find a link to the website if available.

- You can also get directions to that location. Just enter in your starting location and, if you're signed in, you can select one of your frequently used addresses.

- You can use the search box by entering in an exact address, intersection or place of interest. There are more options, which are listed in the drop down menu.
