Google kills click to call feature in Google Maps
If you were enjoying the freeness of Google Maps "click to call" feature, we're sorry to tell you this. Click to call has been discontinued, according to a post on the Google Maps Troubleshooting Google Group (say that three times fast)Goog411 is still available to US customers, and the post says that Maps is planning to add new features although, the "experiment" that was click-to-call has been ended.
Sad news, as this was an innovative piece of Google's heralded Maps service.

While on Local.live.com (Microsoft's mapping service) this service still exits (and I believe that they also had this feature before Google implemented it).

It seems Microsoft live maps may be overtaking google maps, at least in my opinion.

I never actually used this feature so I don't know how nice it was. Guess I won't miss it too much then. :)

Ah yes, click to call. Perfect for connecting a far off adult video store to your Chem professors cell phone in the middle of a lecture. Good times....

I ought to venture over to Live Maps and try that myself someday. :D
