Google Local Retail Corner

Google is testing updating the design for the local pack and places listings within Google Search. The map was moved to the top, instead of on the right and the action buttons are also moved and changed. I am not sure which version I like more, but here is what changed.

This new design was spotted first by Khushal Bherwani on X and then by @Punit6008.

Here is the test version:
