By default, the Address Book Dashboard widget uses MapQuest to look up and display a map for the location of your contacts.
Rob Griffiths (of macOSXHints fame) provides a script and walk-through on MacWorld that will replace the MapQuest look-up with Google Maps, giving you pop-up balloons and all the other Google Map goodness.
I am not much of a widget man myself. I prefer to use the plug-ins for Address Book itself — Brian Toth’s Google Maps plug-in and UK Streetmaps.
But widget nuts will love Rob’s tip.
