Google are starting to monetize mobile maps

It was only going to be a matter of time until sponsored Google mobile maps results would appear.

Today when I was seaching for the Waldorf Hotel in London, the actual location was identified by a Hilton logo on my Google mobile maps screen (it was clearly identified as a sponsored link) and the results page also had it at the top of the list.

Nice!  See the screen shots below.

Still thinking about the near-term future?
