This is for all you Googlians out there who love maps, Macs, and
Safari and really who doesn’t? Google’s
new and fancy mapping service was recently rolled out without support for Safari
making some Mac users question the very meaning of life.
However, question no more because Google Maps is now fully functional in Safari.
Map away!
To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.

Printing of directions doesn't work right yet in Safari. If you do a print preview on some directions, you'll notice that the overlayed graphics (pins, route image) aren't transparent in the resulting PDF.
