Mac Tips Daily! #137 - Map Address Book Contacts
Have you ever needed a map to show you the route to locate a particular contact? Address Book in OS X Tiger gives you an easy way to map any contact in your address book.
Requirements: Internet Connection & a Physical Address entered in the address book for the contact you want to map.
Let's get to it:
Open 'Address Book'
Finder -> Go -> Applications -> Address Book

Next, select the contact you want to map.

Then, click on the 'circular cog', and a drop down menu will appear.
Choose 'Map This Address'

Now you default browser will launch, go out on the internet, and show a map of your contact.

This method used Mapquest.com to map your contact, but some people have even hacked it so it can use Google Maps.
