AddressBook's going places

Quote:
an application for easily obtaining driving directions from point A to point B using the information contained in your Address Book. Simply choose a starting point (the “From Address”) and the end point (the “To Address”), the source for the directions...BNavigator supports many direction sources), then click “Get Directions” and ABNavigator will retrieve your route. Of course, you may manually enter addresses if you need directions to a location not contained in your Address Book...

It supports Expedia, Google Maps, MapQuest, Maps.com, MSN Maps & Directions, and Yahoo! Local Maps. It's donationware, and modest donationware at that.

I just gave it a test run, putting it through the paces, and it's lovely and swift. Plus, it opens and allows you to use the results in the lower pane of the application, rather than opening a new browser window--a definite bonus in my book. I like. :cool:

Here's my other (meager, so far) maps & travel + AddressBook bookmarks: del.icio.us/hauntedpalace/addressbook+travel+maps

and, for what it's worth, all of my OSX maps & travel bookmarks:

Aww, I was kind of excited then realized it's a separate app and doesn't integrate with the Addressbook app. That's too bad. Without even a shortcut or contextual menu direct from Addressbook, I'll probably never remember to use this.

I have two plugins bookmarked that might do the trick for you:

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
