Google Maps Plugin for Address Book - Brian Toth

Link: Google Maps Plugin for Address Book - Brian Toth.

I love Apple's Address Book. I inadvertently just discovered two cool things. First, if you have Skype installed, right click on a phone number in Address book and there's a menu that allows you to dial that number in Skype. The only problem is that I think you need to have a 1 before the number. After I stumbled on this, I typed in Apple and Address Book into Google, and I found this plug in to work with Google Maps and Google Earth.

Okay, now I need to do some real work....but while I am goofing around, I see that you can create Skypecasts and Ecamm now makes a recorder to be used with Skype. Must revisit this! I finally around to playing with their iGlasses software a few weeks ago, and it's very fun.

In Skype prefs, select the Calls "tab" and tick the checkbox "For numbers without country code use:" ... and select "United States (+1).

That makes Skype happy.

Thanks for pointing this feature out! I was searching for a plugin. I wasn't until I read your post that I found this excellent feature was already there!
