10.4: Use Google Maps with the Address Book widget
Authored by: reh on May 29, '05 03:02:28PM
  1. Download the script by option clicking on this link
  2. Open the Terminal and type "chmod 755 " (minus the quotes and don't forget the space on the end... DON'T hit enter yet)
  3. Now drag the recently downloaded script into the Terminal and hit enter
  4. Type "sudo " into the terminal (with the space and DON'T hit enter yet)
  5. Drag the script into the Terminal again and hit enter; type your password when prompted
  6. Remove the address book widget from your dashboard and add it again.
  7. Search for a contact with an address and click on the address. You should now get sent to Google Maps. Don't forget to hit Google's satellite link to see images of the area.

10.4: Use Google Maps with the Address Book widget
Authored by: apikoros on Jun 01, '05 07:57:50AM

reh, I too am a newbie. Following your instructions, at your step 5 I see this in Terminal:

"We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility."

I was not expecting a lecture. It looked suspect, so I canceled the procedure right there. Was that message to be expected?

If so, I'll try it again, but have another question regarding the last step: just how does one remove the address book widget from dashboard and add it again? Thanks in advance--
