Mobile Maps get updated with Streetview and walking directions

Some of you may have read it elsewhere. Google is announcing StreetView and walking directions for Google Maps mobile!
Combine all of these features together with the MyLocation feature they introduced earlier and there is no way you can miss that specific restaurant with that 5-star review anymore. You got location-based services using Cell-ID, a top notch review, you got Streetview to show you the place and Google even provides you the walking directions on how to get there. Google Maps Mobile really is becoming some sort of personal navigator.
Now I’m thinking, maybe we should think of a way to measure that we actually visited a restaurant because of a specific review (=offline conversion) in Google Maps. Google Mobile coupons anyone?

You can checkout the youtube video from Google:
