Are more specific Google Maps possible?
Is it possible to get it to select a more specific map. When I search a cross street in Philadelphia it just presents me with a city level map of Philadelphia. I'd like to get a map pinpointing the cross street or street address. (like attached)

Inappropriate?Not at the moment. We're working on a new version of Zemanta that should allow this kind of functionality down the road. Thanks for asking! It helps up with our priorities.

This would be a great feature to let people include an in-line map for where an event is / where something happened / etc. -
Inappropriate?Hi Stephen
You should get more specific maps for streets that have Wikipedia pages about them (for example Lancaster Turnpike). Cross Street unfortunately doesn't seem to have one at the moment. -
Although it appers there IS an actual street named "Cross Street" (just found it on Google!), what I meant by "cross street" is a pin-pointed intersection of streets. For the attached mapI searched Google Maps for "Locust Street and Broad Street, Philadelphia PA" and it brought me to that map. Similarly I'd like the ability to search for a specific address to get pinpointed (i.e. 1201 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia PA)
