Authority in the geo referenced world of Google Maps is of necessity measured somewhat differently than in the web world. Pagerank seems to only marginally correlate, if at all, to Maps ranking.

Certainly a lot to study. I am just amazed how some one can figure all this out and not be on the inside of Google. Certainly shows many places to take action on for local search to make sure the information feed is picked up. Thank you very much. Certainly a lot to study.
