It looks like you can use the key word near in your search on
www.google.com and, above any responses, a link will be shown which will
take you to the appropriate Google Local page.
For example, if I were hungry, I might search for:
pizza near 72205
and Google would have this as a link:
Local results for pizza near Little Rock, AR 72205
Clicking that link would take me to the google local page.
You can press enter on one of the links and information about the
business will be shown at the top of the page. You can then press enter
on either "to here" or "from here", enter an address in the resulting
edit box, and press enter on the "Get Directions" button.
You may need to use insert+escape to refresh the page; JAWS seems to
have problems with javascript that updates the currently loaded page.
