Did not work for me at all. Tried to search for Starbucks near Hamburg and compared it to Google Maps.

Got nothing on Omniplaces and everything i needed on Google Maps and as pg pointed out on stage you fight against Google in search and there is no compelling feature im even interested in on your site.

Overall it looks like a clone of Google Maps with less features and information sorry to say that.

Maybe adding some social layers (friend recommendations etc.) would help.
