This is really cool. I tried pizza for Stillman Valley, IL and it worked as advertised: 8 results, #4 is the preferred pizza.
It now tells intersections, too.
Does anyone use this? I am so impressed that I dedicated “g” on my speed dial to it.

I use this all the time. I didn’t realize it gave intersections now, and I don’t have a smart-enough phone to utilize Google Maps, but I do direct it to text message me whenever I’m looking for a particular business.
I prefer the text messaging version as the computer doesn’t always understand my exotic Northern Illinois accent. Send a text message to 466453 (google) with certain terms and get the answer. I most often use it for determining the gate and time of my flight. For example, to find out when and where your United Flight 793 is going to be text: ua 793 or to find pizza send the text: pizza 61084
There is also a similar service called “Tell Me” (800-555-8355)
Yes, it’s pathetic that I know way too much about this stuff.
Wow, you’re an expert. How could we find our way around SV without technology?
