Google Maps plug-in for Address Book
Brian Toth has produced a plug-in for the OS X Address Book that enables you to see addresses in Google Maps and to request directions to a particular address.
After installation the options are available in the Contextual Menu when you click on any Address Book address tab.
At the moment it only supports addresses in the UK, the USA, Japan and Canada. Australians like me can just stick their heads out the window and see where everyone else’s house is, but it’s still fun to check out where your overseas friends live.
It’s donation-ware and available from his website.
