In a blog post today, a new feature for the Maps for the Maps users have 
been announced:

"Maps users have told us that when they embark on a journey, they often 
want to start from their current location. That’s why today we’re making Google 
Maps <https://maps.google.com/> more useful by automatically zooming into 
your city as the starting point for your search. Now you can dive right in 
and discover the local businesses, restaurants and attractions near you, 
without having to manually enter your location. Much easier and faster.
We show the details of your starting point in the left panel. And if for 
some reason your starting point isn’t correct you can easily add your 
street address, zip code, city and state, or country by clicking on the 
Correct it link."

1) Will this feature be available soon through the API to specify that the 
map displayed should be centered on the user's location?
2) Will be the user's location be available through the API to find 
features around it?

Thanks

Fred
