As the release date of the iPhone upgrade approaches, the rumor mills are churning. Gizmodo has a good roundup of likely new features that are thought to be in the next iPhone update (2.2). There are a number of interesting Google Map features that seem ready to appear on the iPhone in this update:
Street View
Walking directions
Public transport information
Share location (essentially a send to mail via Google Maps feature)
Google Maps in the iPhone shares the same listing and ranking of businesses as the browser based Google Maps and the Universal Local results. The last time I looked though it only showed the top 8 businesses in a query. Is that still the case?
I can’t wait to see what kind of goodies they bring us for this next update.

Can you confirm for me if they still only provide 8 results on a category search?
