"First reported by Android Police, Google Maps added a feature that when you navigate using the Google Maps app to a specific place, if that place will be closed by the time you are expected to arrive, it will tell you and suggest that you don`t bother going.
Google`s warning reads, "your destination may be closed by the time you arrive.
"This gives you one more reason to encourage your clients and even for your own business, to make sure your business hours of operation are correctly listed in your Google My Business center. "

http://bit.ly/1eH0zuB
"Google shows a card with a long list of quotes for searches like Einstein quotes. This works in the desktop interface and the mobile site and it`s a quick way to find some quotations without visiting any search result."
The results will not show the source of the quotes. Some are not pleased, and of course, quote sites are certainly not pleased about this.
