So wait a minute. I can call them, listen to ads, and get connected?

How is this better than what I do now:

1. Go to the Google Maps application on the iPhone, which I generally
leave on the map of the city I'm in.

2. Type the category I'm looking for. The results appear on the map
as pushpins.

3. I pick one I want to call, tap it, and it shows me the phone
number. Another tap, and the call is placed.

No ads, and I have the business on the map, too, making it easy to go
there.
