Installing the Google Maps Plugin is one of my first items of business when setting up a new Mac. With this plugin, you will be able to use Google instead of Mapquest with your Mac OS X Address Book. Just click on “home” or “work” next to the address and the option will be there to locate the address on Google.

If you choose to install all three bundles, you will also be given the option of “Google Directions”. This will let you choose to create directions between two cards in your address book. (default is from your home address) This can save alot of typing.

This plugin is incredibly useful. If it doesn’t get the proper address on the first try, be sure to check in the sidebar on Google as it will usually recommend the correct address that you are looking for.
