When we first heard of CleanScores, the site that gathers health inspection information so you can "know" before you "eat," we knew that the team would be working to get its data included in local searches for sites like Yelp (see here). Well, it has brokered a deal with Google Maps as well, which will integrate the CleanScores info on a restaurant's map overview. This currently only displays for restaurants that CleanScores already has information on, and is limited to the San Francisco and L.A. areas.

What's missing from this Google Maps view, however, is the context which can be found on CleanScores, as pointed out by WebProNews. Even though health code violations are marked minor, moderate, or severe, every health code violation looks bad. At CleanScores, you'll get a full description of health code violations, some explanation as to why the temperature of the food is more concerning than roaches, and the history of that restaurant's heath inspections.
