On Google Maps: P Is For Parking

There's a discussion going on over at Search Engine Roundtable as to what the new P pin is for on Google maps.  The discussion came up after Marc Zwygart posted a screen shot over on Google+.  None of the folks that Barry had a chance to ask before the article published were able to give an answer however with a little sleuthing before my radio show today on WebamsterRadio.fm it turns out it's pretty much exactly what you'd guess.  When I entered the phrase "parking" into Google Maps I got the following map: All the pins with a P are for parking lots.  Searches in various cities around the web including my own Victoria, BC showed the same. So now you know ... on Google Maps: P is for Parking.
