Freeware February: Google Maps Address Book plug-in

So 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!!
