Map Address Book addresses via Google Maps
Authored by: jonahlee on Feb 11, '05 09:08:45PM

Hmm the first updated script doesn't seem to work too well for me. I do have the apartment number in the first line, so the script doesn't seem to work too well. Also it only seems to work if Firefox is closed. It doesn't seem to work when the program is already opened. Any idea why this is? It would be great if it opened in a new tab.

Map Address Book addresses via Google Maps

[Update 2/12/2005] This plug-in has been updated It now urlencodes all parameters, and it joins multiple address lines onto one line.

Also, if you want Firefox to open the map in a new tab you can do this by selecting Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Tabbed Browsing > "a new tab in the most recent window".

The new update can be downloaded from here.

I'm using Firefox 1.0 and it all seems to work fine.

Thanks that does work better, and does open in new tabs (though I already use tabbrowser extension, and had it set to open in new tabs). Still doesn't work if I have the Apartment number in the first line, but I don't want to reformat all my addresses (at least not right now). Thanks!
