Freeware February: Google Maps Address Book plug-in

google mapsSo I’ve been looking for an excuse to talk about Google maps, and thanks to reader Pedro, I now have one. This plug-in integrates with Address Book and gives you one-click access to a Google map of the selected address. Killer!

It gets even better: one installer actually gives you a pair of plug-ins, one of which will generate a contextual menu option for the Google map, the other of which will generate a contextual menu option for directions to that location. Just sweet. Full instructions and the download link live here. Please note that these plug-ins work with Firefox only and do not support Safari, because Google maps itself does not support Safari! Topic for another post on poor, downtrodden Safari…

Thanks, Pedro!!

Tip of the Day

Want to drag a file to another folder and copy it instead of moving it? Press the Option key when you drag that file and it'll be duplicated rather than moved entirely.
