address, business name, along with a zip code or city and a map will

YELP.com is making use of Google Maps (you can see the Google logo in
the corner of each map).

Google maps can be added to any website that is available at no cost
to consumers.  To get started, take at look at this page:

Does that help?  What else might you need for a complete answer on this?

Where does the website obtain the information for each business and
the business phone and address information?  For example, when an
address is typed in the information about the address comes up, or
when a city is given one is able type in the name of a business in
that city and the address and contact info is provided.
