Google added a new feature to its web search for US [iPad](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/30/apple-ipad-review/) users on Tuesday. In addition to traditional web results, this new enhancement displays a virtual carousel with reviews and photos that detail local businesses matching your query. Selecting an image card reveals additional information, including a map for directions to the location that you're viewing. Absent from Google's announcement were plans to bring this feature to Android tablets, such as the [Nexus 7 ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/28/nexus-7-review/)and [10](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/02/nexus-10-review/). Hopefully the search giant's loyalists won't have to wait too long for an update. In the meantime, iPad owners will have first dibs on this potential Urbanspoon replacement.
