GoogleQuick update via Download Squad and Google Groups: the Google Maps click-to-call feature has been discontinued.

From Maps Guide Mike, "this feature was a long-running experiment, and in the end it was decided to discontinue it."

Grant from Download Squad notes, "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."

I, like Grant, liked this piece of technology. Perhaps the GrandCentral acquisition has something to do with it?

It must be something to do with the acquisition of GrandCentral. Or else, they have some larger plans taking shape and want to get away with this experiment.

Irrespective, this feature is very useful and hope will come back in some form.
