I noticed today that Google has changed the map page again. Now the side bar has moved from the right side to the left side.
But there is also a new tag in th URL "iwloc=A". It doesn't seem to effect anything if I delete it or change it's value to nonsense. Any idea whatthe new tag is for?

It is apparently a way to hard-link to a Google Local results map with the infobox for a particular lettered location already open.
