Great! Hopefully nobody Google-maps me that way! : (

I dig what you’re saying. It’s just that that horse is already out of the technological barn and there’s a pretty good chance they already know who lives there.

I just wanted to point out that basic Google map functionality is already baked into Address Book.

Either way, the plugin gives some more baked-in functionality if you want a little bit more… Win-win I suppose.

Thanks for the input guys!

Address Book has this functionality built-in. At least in Leopard 10.5.5. The plugin may still be required by Tiger users, but I’m not sure. I remember back in the Tiger days that there was a Map option, but it didn’t use Google maps.
