[The Google blog annouced][1] a new feature on [Google Maps][2] today. When you search for business on Google Maps there is now a "click to call" link which will call the selected business for you.
Clicking the link reveals a dropdown menu asking for your phone number. Enter your number and click "connect for free" and Google will call your phone number and automatically connect you to the business.
The call is free, but if you use a mobile number airtime minutes will still be used.
There is also an option to remember your number so in the future you can make calls with just two clicks.
It's a small but handy addition, especially since the call from Google will cause the phone number to show up on your caller ID in case you need later.
