Google has recently shared an e-mail with Adword advertisers and notified them about the changes that are coming to their search ads on Google Maps.
As a result, some of the changes were noticed with ads in the local finder results. Further, it seems some more changes are there in the pipeline.

This means if you opt out of search partners, your location extension ads may start showing up on Google Maps automatically. It also means that you need to have location extensions for your ads to show on Google Maps.”, explained Barry Schwartz from Search Engine Land.
We think that this has just begun and it is expected that Google will roll out these changes throughout the year.
