10.4: Replace the phone book widget's mapping service
Authored by: boshea on Apr 29, '05 11:27:09PM

Very nice! I had to add a comma after the address & city to make it work :

mapURL += URLEncode( singleResult.address );
mapURL += ",+";
mapURL += URLEncode( singleResult.city );
mapURL += ",+";
mapURL += URLEncode( singleResult.state );
mapURL += "+";
mapURL += URLEncode( singleResult.zip );

This is great! But how to do it with the Address Book widget? There's nothing in the .js file that seems to point to Mapquest...

Why is this not working for me? I've changed the text block, but it still goes back o mapquest. (shudder). Is TextEdit just too wimpy?

TextEdit worked well for me as an editer for this.

You must make sure you are replacing the actual string... not the example search just above the string.

Some addresses fail without further formatting - for example, an address with a suite number (# 240, etc) will screw up google maps, as it seems to ignore everything after the #. I need to brush up on my l33t JS skills, but if I figure anything out, I'll post it here.

10.4: Replace the phone book widget's mapping service
Authored by: RonC on Dec 19, '05 10:23:04AM

I copied the code for changing to Google as the mapping tool in the Address/Phone directory on my iBook. Each time I invoke the mapping scheme, I still get Mapquest.
Let me state that I am a 'newbie' when it comes to Mac's, and I'm probably doing something out of order or in error.
Can someone redo the steps it takes to complete the task to change to a Google mapping tool??
