+ addition, place popovers now include more information, such as website
+ addresses and phone numbers; this can be viewed by expanding each place

+ points of interest for events, or environmental data. It is also possible
+ to use this feature to display your own route data from mobile devices or
+ Google.</p>

+ show map images along with directions, for a clear set of route
+ instructions. It is also possible to use Maps to generate map images in
+ PNG format. This can be useful for including in documents and websites, or
+ even for sharing location information with others.</p>
