I stumbled across a new, to me anyway, feature on Google Maps. When you click to go to the listing, besides the number of reviews I see a "menu" link. It then opens into another box that you see in the second screenshot below. I searched for it on my other listings on only see it on two of them. Has anyone else seen this? When I click the "claim this listing" button to go to the Constant Contact page this is a $79 per month service. This feature is probably geared more towards restaurants but not sure the monthly fee is worth it to car dealers. What are your thoughts?

Bill Simmons discovered a new Google Maps feature displaying a "menu" link on some business listings that, when clicked, opens a box for adding menus or services—a feature typically designed for restaurants that requires a $79/month Constant Contact subscription to claim. He questions whether this paid feature is worth the investment for car dealerships and asks other dealers for their opinions on its utility. The thread explores whether this Google Maps enhancement is relevant or cost-effective for automotive retail businesses.
