Google Maps Plugin enables you lookup your Apple Address Book addresses using Google Maps as well as get directions between your Address Book addresses. At the time this was written, Google Maps supports the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, Spain, Italy and France. Google Earth is now supported as of June 15, 2006.

While the plugin is free, if you find it useful, please consider making a small donation to support further development. Donations can be made at my website.

I find that it only works once. I have to close Address Book and then open it again to do another search.

I just found that using my Microsoft two button mouse, that if I highlight the complete address and then right click, that it works.

This is one heck of a time-saver—no more cut and pasting addresses in Google maps! Sure, Address Book does mapping, but not directions, Google Earth, or Google Prefs. This app does all that and more. Works beautifully and seamlessly with Apple Address Book. So far completely stable. I use it every day.

This is one of three excellent Apple Address Book plugins that I use. The other two (one also by this developer) are:

Post Check by Brian Toth
Address Book Dates by Josef W. Wankerl

All three make for a better Address Book Experience. Google Maps Plugin quickly adds pertinent information to your Google Maps search.

"Google Maps is already the default service used for map lookups in Address Book."

That is true, but the built-in service only provides a link to the Google map ('Map this Address'). 'Google Maps Plugin 2.7.1' also provides the following services:

- Google Directions (which lets you plug in a second address for directions)
- Locate in Google Earth (launches Google Earth version of map)
- Google Preferences (a whole bunch of useful additions, such as displaying phone number on the map listing).
- Google Map for [Address Book Entry] - whatever Preference options you set are available with this option. If you option to use the built-in plain vanilla 'Map This Address' option, it's still there, which is very thoughtful of the Google people.

On both my Macs, one running Leopard and and the other running Snow Leopard, Google Maps is already the default service used for map lookups in Address Book.

While the developer deserves kudos for bringing this functionality to earlier versions, I don't think there is any need for this plugin going forward.

Mr. Developer (Brian Toth), is this true? Is there any need or advantage to installing/using this for those of us using 10.5.x or higher?

I wish it work with Australian addresses. I don't think it's the plugin's fault though. I think it has more to do with Google Maps.

Everytime I click on the label to the left of the address, Apple's Address Book quits.
