I finally got an OS X capable machine running after 6 months without :wink: and I was trying to make up for lost time. I found a cool little Applescript at macosxhints (http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050208234638329#comments) You save it in your ~/Library/Address Book Plug-Ins/ directory. When you control-click an address in your Address Book, it will give you an option to go to this address in Google Maps (http://maps.google.com) . It will open the address in Firefox since Safari isn't supported yet in Google Maps (http://maps.google.com) but some people have it working with Camino.

Google Maps is very cool and you should go check it out. I didn't even know about it until I ran across this script. Google just keeps getting better. I'm using the Google SMS service to search for local places on my phone. :tongue:
