It is great that the Map apps are finally getting the right idea of what consumers are looking for in location services. No one generally wants the option of only looking at where a store is, but what kind of reviews it received. I agree with Bohret that the business review sites like Yelp could be in trouble, and should look into other expansion possibilities.
Having the capability to see what restaurants your circles have visited allows for so much more connectedness which social media is all about. This is also a great opportunity for businesses to see what areas of people are talking about them and have better access to the reviews from social media. Something to be concerned about in these upgrades to mapping is that it could potentially cause too much distraction on the road
