The URL of the link provided by google is the following:

intent://maps.google.es/maps?ie=utf-8&gl=es&hq=asai&hnear=0x89e377dcc8eb2895:0x3a2554d859a4317f,Belmont,+Massachusetts,+EE.+UU.&daddr=30+Leonard+Street,+Belmont,+MA+02478,+Estados+Unidos+@42.397019,-71.175960&panel=1&f=d&fb=1&geocode

yklxDEUxHfjiTEHpHR0v0IBKQ&cid=2954716220591744007&entry=s#Intent;scheme=http;package=com.google.android.apps.maps;end

It is rather android-specific (because google search mistakenly assumes that the browser is running on android).
We might be able to register an application to handle this kind of link though.

Bug description:
  ubuntu-rtm image 184

  The maps apps in the system should register and respond to appropriate
  urls from the browser (not sure of the format, map:// or directions://
  - need to check)

  Steps to reproduce:
  1) open browser
  2) type "Asai Belmont MA" in the url bar and press enter
  3) this will do a google search for the resturant
  4) click on the "Directions" button

  Expected result:
  - One of the maps apps should open displaying directions for the resturant

  Actual results:
  - no app is launched
