Hi Dr. Li, I saw your presentation on BiMaple at the Irvine Incubation Center, so it's nice to see the technology out in the wild. My initial reaction to omniplaces was that it was slightly harder to use than Google Maps because it does not guess at your location based on your IP address. I think if you implement that it will be easier to use than Google Maps due to the instant fuzzy search (though as Paul Graham said, just being slightly better might not be enough.) Good luck!
