Mac 101: Get a Google Map from Address Book contact

The first thing I do whenever I get a new Mac is replace the large clunky Mac mouse with a lightweight 3/4 size nimble 2-button logitech mouse.

right-click opens up all the 2-handed option-click possibilities on the Mac.

I always tease my PC wife when she asks me for a phone number and I say nothing, displaying it to her in LARGE TYPE!

I've also found "dial with Skype" option useful after getting a Skype number.

Wow, can I make money too - blogging about how to use tight-click on your Mac?

In my french version of 10.4.11, the "locate" feature of the address book points to a substandard european loacation site. Is there a way (terminal?) to use google maps, as on my iPhone?

Most of the fields in Address Book have context-sensitive menus, just click their labels. Sorely missing in Leopard is the ability to make your cell phone dial a contact, and that makes "Large Type" that much more useful.

Ok,
let me make it easier for all of you.
Instead of having to right-click on the address, just do a normal click on the word/title "Home" or "Work" just to the left of the address.

This brings up three options: "Map of", "Copy Mailing Label" and "Copy URL of Map". No right-clicking required.

Incidentally, you also get drop-down options by clicking on the titles just to the left of email addresses, phone numbers, etc.

Word.

I was having trouble with this hint as I was trying to map my hope. However, it does not work on my own card. When I do it on another contact it works great. So, please don't try it on your own card.

This is on the iPhone as well, but far more useful would be the option to select am event location and go straihgt to GMap. After all, if you're going to a specific place for a specific event that's when you need a map.

Only because it's somewhat related and I haven't seen anything else about it:

In the Calendar app on the iPhone, when you enter an appointment and location for the appointment, there is no way to tap on the location and have it mapped. And with the missing copy/paste, the only way is to either write down the location and then re-enter it in Google Maps, or remember the whole address and enter that to Maps.
This is dumb.
I asked at the Apple Store and they said there's no way to do it.
This is really dumb.

once again?How do you do this on a laptop.
