Google is testing showing a small map icon in the local panel results by the address line. This was pointed out to me recently by @thibaultadda but first noticed by @sergey_alakov months ago. I didn't cover it then because there were a ton of different tests going on the but now they are testing this maps icon again.

Here is a screen shot from Twitter:

I think this user interface works, espesially if you want to show photos of the local listing over the map at the top.
