This is quite an old tool on the internet for now.. But there are some new features in
Google Maps that are worth admiring.. This post includes one such a feature..
Ability to search for locations inside what is the viewing area.
This as shown below allows me to localize my search.. (So i zoom into a country or a continent and then search.. which gives me localized searches). I tried to search globally by zooming out to a level where i can see the map. but It some how fails to do it.. This needs improvement.
This Pic is showing only the location searches for North America..
And this pic is showing Location searches returned in Asia (Japan)
Just felt this is a feature to be exploited.. just kidding… to be used.. But there are definitely areas of improvement as stated in the post.
Anyway.. Hats off to Google !..
